Description
This name is also known as the host name or system name.
For most users, type your account name or user name in this field. For
example, if your main mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, then type
JerAB in this field.
If your ISP has given you a specific host name, then type it (for
example, CCA7324-A).
For most users, you can leave this field blank, unless it is required by
your ISP. You can type the domain name of your ISP. For example, if
your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type xxx.yyy.zzz
as the domain name.
If you have a domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this field.
(For example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of home, and
Comcast sometimes supplies a domain name.)
If you have a cable modem, this setting is usually the workgroup name.
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed
IP address, the router finds an IP address for you automatically when
you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP.
If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP has provided you
with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address and type
the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address into the correct
fields.
For example:
• IP Address. 24.218.156.183
• Subnet Mask. 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address. 24.218.156.1
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their
names.
• If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These
DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary addresses.
• Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.
Note: If you get "Address not found" errors when you go to a website, it
is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly. You should
contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
Your computer's local address is its unique address on your network.
This address is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access
Control) address.
• Usually, select Use Default MAC Address.
• If your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either Use
Computer MAC Address to disguise the router's MAC address
with the computer's own MAC address, or Use This MAC
Address and manually type the MAC address for a different
computer.
The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value
might be changed if Use Computer MAC Address is selected once a
value has already been set in the Use This MAC Address selection.
