NBG334W User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
The PPP over Ethernet choice is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. The
NBG334W supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an
IETF Draft standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts
with a broadband modem (i.e. xDSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the end user and ISP/carrier,
as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer
site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the router rather than individual
computers, the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since
the router does that part of the task. Further, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers
will have access.
Type the PPPoE service name provided to you. PPPoE uses a service name to
identify and reach the PPPoE server.
Type the user name given to you by your ISP.
Type the password associated with the user name above.
Type your password again to make sure that you have entered is correctly.
Select Nailed-Up Connection if you do not want the connection to time out.
This value specifies the time in seconds that elapses before the router
automatically disconnects from the PPPoE server.
Select this option If your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. This is the
default selection.
Select this option If the ISP assigned a fixed IP address.
Enter your WAN IP address in this field if you selected Use Fixed IP Address.
Enter the remote IP address (if your ISP gave you one) in this field.
Enter the remote IP subnet mask in this field.
Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the
NBG334W's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS
server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined 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 User-Defined, but leave
the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
If you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the
second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a
DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
The MAC address section allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address
by using the NBG334W's MAC address, copying the MAC address from a
computer on your LAN or manually entering a MAC address.
Select Factory default to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.
