Get IP Address from : if you have a static IP from your
ISP then enter select ‘Customize’
and then enter your IP address in the
Wan IP Address box. However
normally your ISP will provide your
IP address so you should select
‘Service Provider’
PPP starting status : ‘UP’ i.e. start service automatically
DoD : ‘DISABLE’ Dial on Demand – basically this tells the router to disconnect from the ISP if you
don’t use the service for a specified time. Then the router will automatically reconnect when there is an demand for internet
access from you LAN. Normally you would want the service permanently up i.e. DoD disabled BUT if you are worried about
security and unsolicited access from the ISP then selecting DoD means that the connection will break if you are away from
your PC for a period of time or if your don’t use the connection for a while. The Idle Timeout value specifies when the
connection should be dropped. Once the connection is dropped then the router will automatically reconnect if it detects internet
demand. Reconnection is very quick; typically just a second or two.
NAT : normally this should be selected. If you have a block of IP addresses from your provider then you
may want to disable NAT and fully ‘expose’ your LAN.
IP Filter : this feature enables or disables to IP filter firewall. Normally you would have this NOT ticked.
However if you run non-NAT mode, with a fully ‘exposed’ LAN then you may wish to enable this feature. You will then need
to setup IP filtering; see Network Service, IP Filtering.
Auto Discovery DNS... : Normally you should enable this option. In order for internet access to work correctly from your
PC your computer needs to know the DNS address. The DNS allows the computer to translate a site name (e.g.
www.solwise.co.uk) into a valid IP address. If you have a single PC dial up connection using a single connection device such
as a USB or PCI modem then your ISP will send the DNS address to your PC when it connects. However this doesn’t normally
happen when using a router connection. However if you select this option then the router will record the given DNS when it
connects to your ISP. Then, if you use DHCP or DNS relay (see below) the router can automatically inform your PC what
address to use for DNS.
