[. . . ] Dynamic IP via PPTP: This type of connection is called the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol over Ethernet (PPTPoE) and provides a secure connection over the Internet and is normally used when connecting to a remote LAN through the Internet. In a manner similar to PPPoE, your ISP requires you to enter a user name and password in order to identify you. You also need to enter an IP address that is "tunneled" through the Internet. PPTP Local IP address: The "tunneled" IP address provided by your ISP. PPTP Local Net mask: the IP Network mask associated with the above address. PPTP Remote IP address: the IP address from your ISP User name: the user name of your ISP account. Important Note: If you used WinPoET/ RASPPPoE (PPPoE Dial-up Software) or a Windows PPTP · application in your computer, you must remove or disable this software in order to operate properly. The router replaces your PPPoE or PPTP software when communicating with your ISP. If you don't know your connection type, please contact your Internet Service Pro· vider. MAC Address: Some ISPs may identify you by a specific MAC address. A MAC address is a physical identifier of an Ethernet port, in this case the EWAN port that is connected to the Cable modem. If this address is not the MAC address known to the ISP, you can substitute this address with the MAC address of the Ethernet network card installed in your PC that was used to identify your account. If you need to do this, check the Clone MAC Address selection to replace the router MAC address by the MAC address of the Ethernet network card installed in your PC1. 1 Some ISPs may recognize your account using the LAN card MAC address on your PC that you used to access the Internet before the router was installed. In this case, you have to copy the LAN card MAC address in the MAC address field. For WIN 95/98/Me, you can run winipcfg to see the LAN card MAC address. For WIN 2000/NT/XP, you can run "ipconfig/all" to see the LAN card MAC address. Wireless Broadband Router User Guide 14 Provide DNS Server Address Information If your Wireless Broadband Router acts as a DHCP Server and assigns IP address information to other PCs on your LAN, then you may need to configure DNS Server IP addresses in the router that are transferred to these DHCP clients. The Domain Name System (DNS) is the technique that is used on the Internet to translate names like "www. ebay. com" to IP addresses like 209. 103. 14. 2. In order to do this, a query is made to special DNS servers in the Internet that provide this information. Often, the addresses of these machines are sent to the router automatically when it logs into the ISP. However, there may be instances where this is not done, or where special addresses are required. If your ISP requires you to manually enter DNS Server addresses, you can enter these addresses on this page. Up to two DNS server IP addresses may be entered. Wireless Broadband Router User Guide 15 Configure Your Wireless LAN Connection Network Name (SSID): The SSID is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless network; the ID must be different from each other. Disable SSID Broadcasting: All wireless clients must use the same Network Name (SSID) in order to associate with the wireless network. [. . . ] Please take special care when using this facility. Static Routing You can manually configure a "static" route to remote networks. A static route will override any route learned via the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), if activated. Note that the special entry, the Default Route, is created automatically during the Setup Wizard process. If the default route is deleted unintentionally, you must step through the Setup Wizard to restore it. Destination IP address: The destination IP address of the route. [. . . ]
