Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Wireless Router DG834GSP
Configuring Your Internet Connection
3-17
v1.0, June 2007
•
Select “Get Dynamically from ISP” if your ISP assigns your IP address.
•
Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP gave you a statically assigned address.
6.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
•
Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
•
Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type
the primary and secondary addresses.
7.
You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns
private IP addresses (10.1.1.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only
standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834GSP uses. Classical
routing should be selected only by experienced users.
The “Disable Firewall” option disables the firewall in addition to disabling NAT. The
“Disable” option leaves the firewall active. With the firewall disabled, the protections
normally provided to your network will be disabled.
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA
1.
If your Internet connection
does
require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
the instructions below.
2.
Choose PPPoA for the encapsulation method.
3.
Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), and password.
4.
If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how
long the modem router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity
from the LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.
Note:
Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834GSP
configuration settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to
install the DG834GSP in a setting where you will be manually administering
the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
Note:
You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in
order to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your
modem router automatically logs you in.
