➔ Select your new connection's “Type of failover check”
The best way to check if a certain Internet connection is available is try and
connect to a machine that is always on. Otherwise our firewall would assume
the Internet connection to be unavailable whenever the host we tried to
connect to was switched off. The machine we try to connect to should also be
located on the other side of our Internet connection. Even with our firewall or
our firewall's ISP disconnected from the Internet, connections to a machine in
our own LAN or our ISP's internal network would still be possible. The “Target of
the failover check” should therefore ideally be a machine located outside of our
ISP's network on the actual Internet.
➔ Select your new connection's “Target of the failover check”
➔ Click the “Next” button to continue.
2.1.1 Setting up a new Internet connection using DHCP
The easiest way to establish the new Internet connection is to use DHCP-Client.
Generally, when choosing DHCP-Client, no further settings are required for an
Internet connection. After pressing “next” you will be returned to the “Manage
Internet connections” screen.
2.1.2 Setting up a new Static/Nat Internet connection
When using a single static IP address or a routed subnet for your network
connection, you will have been provided with an IP number, a net mask and a
default gateway by your ISP. After choosing “Static/Nat” as type of Internet
connection, the next screen will offer the opportunity to enter this data.
➔ Enter the IP address, net mask and gateway address.
➔ Click the “Next” button to return to the “Manage Internet connections”
screen.
If you are in any way unsure about the correct number to enter, please contact
your ISP for confirmation.
2.1.3Setting a PPTP or PPPoE Internet connection
PPTP or PPPoE Internet connections are not identical, but since both require
user authentication, the options to enter are much the same.
➔ Enter the type of Internet connection (PPTP or PPPoE) after the text “Please
choose the type of connection”.
