Manual Adsl Setup - Dynamic Ip Address - D-Link DSL-2680 User Manual

Chapter 3 - Setup
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, 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 Enable. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use
more than one computer for Internet connections. NAT is enabled and disabled
system-wide, therefore if you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT will be
disabled on all connections.
4. Most users should leave the IGMP setting as Enable. IGMP is used to manage
multicasts (such as audio or video streaming). Some network managers might
prefer to disable this function to prevent certain types of DoS attacks. To disable
IGMP select Disable. This will block all IP multicast traffic through the router.
5. 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.
