Connection Details - Fixed/Dynamic IP Address
If your access method is "Direct" (no login), a screen like the following example will be
displayed when the "Connection Details" button is clicked.
The RAS Plan which is currently used.
The hardware address of this device, as seen by remote de-
vices on the Internet. (This is different to the hardware address
seen by devices on the local LAN.)
The IP Address of this device, as seen by Internet users. This
address is allocated by your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
The Network Mask associated with the IP Address above.
The IP Address of the remote Gateway or Router associated
with the IP Address above.
The IP Address of the Domain Name Server which is currently
used.
This will show "Enabled" or "Disabled", depending on whether
or not this device is functioning as a DHCP client.
If "Enabled" the "Remaining lease time" field indicates when
the IP Address allocated by the DHCP Server will expire. The
lease is automatically renewed on expiry; use the "Renew"
button if you wish to manually renew the lease immediately.
This button is only useful if the IP address shown above is
allocated automatically on connection. (Dynamic IP address). If
you have a Fixed (Static) IP address, this button has no effect.
If the ISP's DHCP Server has NOT allocated an IP Address
for the Broadband Router, this button will say "Renew".
Clicking the "Renew" button will attempt to re-establish the
connection and obtain an IP Address from the ISP's DHCP
Server.
If an IP Address has been allocated to the Broadband
Router (by the ISP's DHCP Server), this button will say
"Release". Clicking the "Release" button will break the
connection and release the IP Address.
Update the data shown on screen.
