Field Description
Use DHCP When set to Enable, the device will acquire additional
IP information from the ISP's DHCP server. The PPP
connection itself acquires the device's IP address,
mask, DNS address, and default gateway address.
With Use DHCP enabled, the device will acquire IP
addresses for various other server types (WINS,
SMTP, POP3, etc. -- these server types are listed on
the DHCP Server Configuration page).
User DNS When set to Enable, the DNS address learned
through the PPP connection will be distributed to
clients of the device's DHCP server. This option is
useful only when the ADSL/Ethernet Router is
configured to act as a DHCP Server for your LAN.
When set to Disable, LAN hosts will use the DNS
address(es) preconfigured in the DHCP pool (see
“Configuring DHCP Server” on page 45) and in the
DNS feature (see Chapter 9, “Configuring DNS
Server Addresses” ).
