Based on the setup instructions from your ISP, you may need to provide the
Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to provide a host
name and domain name for the Router and are usually left blank. If request-
ed by your ISP (usually cable ISPs), complete these two fields.
The values for the Router's LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown

ically), PPPoE, and Static IP Address. These types are listed in the drop-

you select. Proceed to the instructions for the connection type you are
using. When you are finished with the Setup tab, proceed to step 5.
