7.4 The Client List Screen
This table allows you to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual
computers based on their MAC Addresses.
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC
address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal
characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02.
P-660HN-F1A User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS
server information (and the P-660HN-F1A's WAN IP address).
Select UserDefined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter
the DNS server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
UserDefined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, UserDefined
changes to None after you click Apply. If you set a second choice to
UserDefined, and enter the same IP address, the second
UserDefined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select DNS Relay to have the P-660HN-F1A act as a DNS proxy only
when the ISP uses IPCP DNS server extensions. The P-660HN-F1A's
LAN IP address displays in the field to the right (read-only). The P-
660HN-F1A tells the DHCP clients on the LAN that the P-660HN-F1A
itself is the DNS server. When a computer on the LAN sends a DNS
query to the P-660HN-F1A, the P-660HN-F1A forwards the query to
the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response
back to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay for one of the
three servers; if you select DNS Relay for a second or third DNS
server, that choice changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. You must
have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the computers must
have their DNS server addresses manually configured. If you do not
configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer
in order to access it.
