Description

 

 

Domain Name Server

The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.

(DNS) Address

Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS

 

servers. Your ISP automatically assigns this address.

 

Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP does not

 

automatically transmit DNS addresses to the modem during login, select

 

this option, and enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a

 

secondary DNS server address is available, enter it also.

 

 

Router MAC Address

The Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the modem on the Internet

 

port. Some ISPs register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface

 

card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then

 

accept traffic only from the MAC address of that computer. This feature

 

allows your modem to masquerade as that computer by “cloning” its MAC

 

address.

 

Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.

 

Use Computer MAC Address. The modem will capture and use the MAC

 

address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the

 

one computer that is allowed by the ISP.

 

Use This MAC Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.
