The Connection Status screen should show a valid IP address and gateway, and you are
connected to the Internet. If the configuration was not successful, skip ahead to
Manually
Configure an IPv4 Internet Connection
on page 31, or see
Troubleshoot the ISP
Connection
on page 370.
Note:
For more information about the Connection Status screen, see

on page 356.
If the automatic WAN ISP configuration is successful, you can skip ahead to

Manually Configure an IPv4 Internet Connection
Unless your ISP automatically assigns your configuration through a DHCP server, you need
to obtain configuration parameters from your ISP to manually establish an Internet
connection. The required parameters for various connection types are listed in
Table 2
on
page 30.
To manually configure the IPv4 broadband ISP settings:
1.
Select
Network Configuration > WAN Settings > Broadband ISP Settings
. In the
upper right of the screen, the IPv4 radio button is selected by default. The ISP
Broadband Settings screen displays the IPv4 settings (see
Figure 10
on page 29).
2.
Locate the ISP Login section on the screen:
Figure 12.
In the ISP Login section, select one of the following options:
•
If your ISP requires an initial login to establish an Internet connection, select
Yes
.
(The default is No.)
•
If a login is not required, select
No
, and ignore the Login and Password fields.

If you selected Yes, enter the login name in the Login field and the password in the
Password field. This information is provided by your ISP.

In the ISP Type section of the screen, select the type of ISP connection that you use from
the two listed options. By default, Austria (PPTP) is selected, as shown in the following

has been previously registered with your ISP, then you need to enter
that address on the Broadband Advanced Options screen for the
WAN interface (see
Configure Advanced WAN Options and Other
Tasks
on page 47).
Configure the IPv6 Internet Connection and WAN Settings
The nature of your IPv6 network determines how you need to configure the IPv6 Internet
connection:
•
Native IPv6 network
. Your network is a native IPv6 network if the wireless VPN firewall
has an IPv6 address and is connected to an IPv6 ISP and if your network consists of
IPv6-only devices. However, because we are in a IPv4-to-IPv6 transition period, native
IPv6 is not yet very common.
•
Isolated IPv6 network
. If your network is an isolated IPv6 network that is not connected
to an IPv6 ISP, you need to make sure that the IPv6 packets can travel over the IPv4
Internet backbone; you do this by enabling automatic 6to4 tunneling (see
Configure 6to4
Automatic Tunneling
on page 41).
•
Mixed network with IPv4 and IPv6 devices
. If your network is an IPv4 network that
consists of both IPv4 and IPv6 devices, you need to make sure that the IPv6 packets can
