Alternative Setup Method

Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP

Some dynamic connection types may require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if you were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was originally connected to the modem.
