change this (see table below for more information).

8. 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.
9. Enable PPPoE PassThrough if you want the Router to allow a "dial-up" or separate bridged PPP
connection to an individual PC (see table below for more information).
10. NAT should remain Enabled. If you disable NAT, you will not be able to use more than one
computer for Internet connections. If you are using multiple virtual connections, NAT functions
system-wide, therefore if t is disabled, NAT will disabled on all connections.
11. The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this you will not be able
to use the features configured in the Firewall Configuration and Filters windows located in the
Advanced directory. The next chapter contains a separate section describing these Advanced
features.
12. Typically the globally IP settings (i.e. IP address for the WAN interface) for a PPPoA or PPPoA
connection will use Dynamic IP assignment from the ISP. Some accounts may be assigned a specific
global IP address. If you have been give an IP address for you PPPoE/PPPoA connection, select the
Static IP option from the IP Control pull-down menu. This menu can be used to configure the
WAN port as an Unnumbered IP interface. (See table below for information on Unnumbered IP).
13. Choose the desired Connection Setting. Select from: Always ON, Connection On Demand, or
Manual. Most users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON.
14. Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a pass-through mechanism that allows packets to pass through
the Router so that it effectively functions as a bridge. Check Enable PPTP and enter the required
information in the ServerIP/Name, Route Target, Route Mask, PPTP Account, PPTP Password,
and MPPE Encryption fields. A table on page 43 provides a summary of the parameters used to
configure PPTP connections.
15. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are setting up the
ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the Service Category settings at the default
values until you have established the connection. See the table on page 40 for a description of the
parameters available for ATM traffic shaping.
16. When you are satisfied that all the WAN settings are configured correctly, click on the Apply button.
17. The new settings must be saved and the Router must be restarted for the settings to go into effect. To
save and reboot the Router, click on the Tools directory tab and then click the System button. In the
System Settings window, click the Save and Reboot button
under Save Settings and Reboot the System.
18. Click OK when the following "Save and restart?" dialog box
opens.
