•Client Lease Time. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a computer will be allowed connection to the Gateway with its current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the computer will be “leased” this dynamic IP address.

•Static DNS 1-3. The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. You can enter up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Gateway will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.

•WINS. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) converts NetBIOS names to IP addresses. If you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP address here. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

•Time Setting. Select the appropriate time zone for the Gateway’s location. If desired, check the Automatically adjust clock for daylight saving changes checkbox.

When finished making your changes on this tab, click the Save Settings button to save these changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.
