Click the

Auto Detect

button at the bottom of the screen. The autodetect process probes

the WAN port for a range of connection methods and suggests one that your ISP is most

likely to support.

The autodetect process returns one of the following results:

If the autodetect process is successful, a status bar at the top of the screen displays

the results (for example,

DHCP service detected

).

•

If the autodetect process senses a connection method that requires input from you, it

prompts you for the information. The following table explains the settings that you

might have to enter:
