Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if
your ISP requests that you use a particular "Hostname", enter it
here.
If your ISP provided a domain name, enter it here. Otherwise,
this may be left blank.
Also called Network Adapter Address or Physical Address. This
is a low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port.
Normally there is no need to change this, but some ISPs re-
quire a particular value, often that of the PC initially used for
Internet access.
You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's ad-
dress into this field, the Default button to insert the default
value, or enter a value directly.
Also called Dynamic IP Address. This is the default, and the
most common.
Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an IP Address to the
VPN Broadband Router upon connection.
