Host IP Setup

This feature is used in the following situations:

•

You have Multi-Session PPPoE, and wish to bind each session to a particular PC on your LAN.

•

You wish to use the

Access Filter

feature. This requires that each PC be identified by using the

Host IP Setup

screen.

•

You wish to have different

Block URL

settings for different PCs. This requires that each PC be

identified by using the

Host IP Setup

screen. (You do not have to use the Host IP feature to

apply the same

Block URL

settings to all PCs.)

•

You wish to reserve a particular (LAN) IP address for a particular PC on your LAN. This allows

the PC to use DHCP (Windows calls this "Obtain an IP address automatically") while gaining the

benefits of a fixed IP address. The PC's IP address will never change, so it can be provided to

other people and applications.
