•
Connections that require a login using protocols such as PPPoE, Telstra BigPond, or
PPTP broadband Internet connections.
•
Connections that use dynamic IP address assignment.
•
Connections that use fixed IP address assignment.
The procedures for filling in the configuration menu for each type of connection follow
below.
Configuring for a Wizard-Detected Login Account
If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses a login protocol such as
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), you will be directed to the correct setup menu.
1.
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These
parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you
leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain
automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.
2.
Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case
sensitive. If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes.
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, the firewall will automatically log
you in.
3.
Enable or disable NAT (Network Address Translation). NAT allows all LAN computers to
gain Internet access via this Router, by sharing this Router's WAN IP address. In most
situations, NAT is essential for Internet access via this Router. You should only disable NAT if
you are sure you do not require it. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed
by this Router.
4.
Perform a DNS Lookup. A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (e.g.
www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a Web, FTP, Mail or other
Server on the Internet, you can do a DNS lookup to find the IP address.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically
transmit DNS addresses to the firewall during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter
the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is
available, enter it also.
If you enter an address here, after you finish configuring the firewall, reboot your computers
so that the settings take effect.

5.
Enter the Router's MAC Address. Each computer or router on your network has a unique
32-bit local Ethernet address. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access
Control) address. Usually, select Use default address.
If your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either Use this Computer's MAC address
to have the router use the MAC address of the computer you are now using, or Use This MAC
Address to manually type in the MAC address that your ISP expects.
6.
Click Apply to save your settings.
7.
Click the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR Web site does not
appear within one minute, refer to
Chapter 9, Troubleshooting
.
Configuring for a Wizard-Detected Dynamic IP Account
If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses Dynamic IP assignment,
you will be directed to the correct setup menu.
1.
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These
parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you
leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain
automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.
2.
If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the firewall
during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary
DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of one
or two DNS servers to your firewall during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you
must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you should
reboot your computers after configuring the firewall.
3.
The Router’s MAC Address is the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the firewall on
the Internet port.
If your ISP allows access from only one specific computer’s Ethernet MAC address, select
“Use this MAC address.” The firewall will then capture and use the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the
ISP. Otherwise, you can type in a MAC address.

Note:
Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC
address of that computer. This feature allows your firewall to masquerade as that computer by
using its MAC address.

Click the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR Web site does not

.
Configuring for a Wizard-Detected Fixed IP (Static) Account
If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses Fixed IP assignment, you
will be directed to the correct setup menu..
1.
Enter your assigned IP Address, Subnet Mask, and the IP Address of your ISP’s gateway
router. This information should have been provided to you by your ISP. You will need the
configuration parameters from your ISP you recorded in
“Worksheet for Recording Your
Internet Connection Information” on page 3-3
.
2.
Enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is
available, enter it also.
DNS servers are required to perform the function of translating an Internet name such as
www.netgear.com to a numeric IP address. For a fixed IP address configuration, you must
obtain DNS server addresses from your ISP and enter them manually here. You should reboot
your computers after configuring the firewall for these settings to take effect.
3.
Click Apply to save the settings.
4.
Click the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR Web site does not
