Manual Adsl Setup - Dynamic Ip Address - D-Link DSL-2640R User Manual

Configuration
Follow the instructions below to configure the Router to use a Dynamic IP Address for the Internet connection.
To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection for the WAN, follow these steps:
1. Choose the Connection Type from the pull-down menu. This defines both the
connection type and encapsulation method used for your ADSL service. The
available options are 1483 Bridged IP LLC and 1483 Bridged IP VC-Mux. If you
have not been provided specific information for the Connection Type setting,
leave the default setting.
2. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter
when you first access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a
different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISPs network (and the
Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer's Ethernet adapter, type in
the MAC address in the MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC Address
button.
3. NAT should remain Enabled. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more
than one computer for Internet connections. If you are using multiple virtual
connections, NAT functions system-wide, therefore if t is disabled, NAT will be
disabled on all connections.
4. Leave the Default Route enabled if you want to use the Router as the default
route to the Internet for your LAN. Whenever a computer on the LAN attempts to
access the Internet, the Router becomes the Internet gateway to the computer. If
you have an alternative route for Internet traffic you may disable this without
effecting the Router's connection.
