connection to an individual PC (see table below for more information).

NAT
should remain
Enabled
. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one
computer for Internet connections. If you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT functions
system-wide, therefore if t is disabled, NAT will disabled on all connections.

Firewall
should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able
to use the features configured in the
Firewall Configuration
and
Filters
windows located in the

features.

pull-down menu. This menu can be used to configure the
WAN port as an Unnumbered IP interface. (See table below for information on Unnumbered IP).

Connection Setting
. Select from: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or
Manual. Most users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.

the Router so that it effectively functions as a bridge. Check
Enable
PPTP
and enter the required
information in the

,
Route Target
,

,
PPTP Account
,
PPTP Password
,
and
MPPE Encryption
fields. A table on page 43 provides a summary of the parameters used to
configure PPTP connections.
15. Most users will not need to change
ATM
settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the
ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the
Service Category
settings at the default
values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 40 for a description of the
parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
