6.2. Dynamic IP Address (DHCP)
Select this option if your ISP assigns an IP address dynamically by DHCP (i.e. Cable connections).
Typically, you can leave the Hostname and MAC address fields empty.
However, some ISPs register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your
account is first opened. They will only accept traffic from the MAC address of that computer.
If your ISP has registered the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet LAN card, connect only the computer with the
authorized MAC address and click the Clone MAC Address button. This function allows your router to clone the
authorized MAC address of the registered computer. The correct MAC address will be used to initiate the connection to
the ISP.
