FR328S Cable/DSL ProSafe Firewall with Dial Back-Up

Procedure 2-8: Manual Configuration

You can manually configure the firewall in the Basic Settings menu shown in
these steps:
Select whether your Internet connection requires a login.
1.
Select Broadband with Login if you normally must launch a login program such as Enternet or
WinPOET in order to access the Internet.
Note: If you are a Telstra BigPond cable modem customer, or if you are in an area such as
Austria that uses PPTP, login is required. If so, select BigPond or PPTP from the Internet
Service Type drop down box.
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name.
2.
These parameters may be necessary to access your ISP's services such as mail or news servers.
(If displayed) Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP.
3.
These fields are case sensitive. If you wish 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 PC in order to access
the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your firewall will automatically log you
in.
Internet IP Address:
4.
If your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address for your PC, select "Use
static IP address". Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the netmask and the
Gateway IP address. The Gateway is the ISP's router to which your firewall will connect.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:
5.
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 PCs after configuring the firewall.
