Setting your ISP Connection Type to Dynamic IP

A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type found with

cable modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is

enough to complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types

may require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if

you were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic

connections may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was

originally connected to the modem.

ALTERNATE SETUP METHOD

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)

Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use a DSL modem

to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the service.

If you have an Internet connection in your home or small office that doesn’t

require a modem, you may also use PPPoE.

Your connection type is PPPoE if:

1) Your ISP gave you a user name and password that is required to connect to

the Internet;

2) Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET, Enternet300 that you use to

connect to the Internet; or,

3) You must double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to get on

the Internet.

To set the Router to use PPPoE, type in your user name and password in the

spaces provided. If you do not have a service name or do not know it, leave the

“Service Name” field blank. After you have typed in your information, click

“Apply Changes”

(6)

. After you apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator

will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.

1. User Name

This space is provided to type in your user name that was assigned by your ISP.

2. Password

Type in your password and retype it into the “Retype Password” box to confirm it.

3. Service Name

A service name is rarely required by an ISP. If you are not sure if your ISP

requires a service name, leave this blank.

4. MTU

The MTU setting should never be changed unless your ISP gives you a specific

MTU setting. Making changes to the MTU setting can cause problems with your

Internet connection including disconnection from the Internet, slow Internet

access, and problems with Internet applications working properly.

5. Disconnect after X….

The “Disconnect” feature is used to automatically disconnect the Router from

your ISP when there is no activity for a specified period of time. For instance,

placing a check mark next to this option and entering “5” into the minute field

will cause the Router to disconnect from the Internet after five minutes of no

Internet activity. This option should be used if you pay for your Internet service

by the minute.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

[European Countries Only]. Some ISPs require a connection using PPTP protocol,

a type of connection most common in European countries. This sets up a direct

connection to the ISP’s system. Type in the information provided by your ISP in

the space provided. When you have finished, click “Apply Changes”. After you

apply the changes, the Internet Status indicator will read “connection OK” if

your Router is set up properly.
