5. When a connection uses PPPoA, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However,
the DG834 v3 allows this address to be set manually.
• Select "Get Dynamically from ISP" if your ISP assigns your IP address.
• Select "Use Static IP Address" if your ISP gave you a statically assigned address.
6. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
• Select "Get Automatically from ISP" if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
• Select "Use These DNS Servers" if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type
the primary and secondary addresses.You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do
not require it.
7. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN-connected devices.
When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834 v3 uses. Classical
routing should be selected only by experienced users.
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834G v3
configuration settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to
install the DG834G v3 in a setting where you will be manually administering
the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
The "Disable Firewall" option disables the firewall in addition to disabling NAT. The
"Disable" option leaves the firewall active. With the firewall disabled, the protections
normally provided to your network will be disabled.
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPTP
1. If your Internet connection does require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
the instructions below.
Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP's login program on your computer in
order to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your
modem router automatically logs you in.
2. Choose PPTP Client for the encapsulation method.
3. Set the following items using the information assigned to you by your ISP:
• Your local IP address and IP subnet mask
• The server IP address for your ISP
