Table 1-1. Basic Settings Fields Description

Settings	Description
Internet IP Address	• Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign
	your IP address. Your ISP automatically assigns these
	addresses.
	• Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address that your ISP
	assigned. Also enter the IP subnet mask and the gateway IP
	address. The gateway is the ISP’s modem router to which
	your modem router will connect.
	• Use IP Over ATM (IFoA). Your ISP uses Classical IP
	addresses (RFC 1577). Enter the IP address, IP subnet
	mask, and gateway IP addresses that your ISP assigned.
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address	The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on
	their names.
	• 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
	router 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.
NAT (Net Address Translation)	NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (10.1.1.x) to
	LAN-connected devices.
	• Enable. Usually NAT is enabled.
	• Disable. This disables NAT, but leaves the firewall active.
	Disable NAT only if you are sure that you do not require it.
	When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed
	by this router. Classical routing lets you directly manage the
	IP addresses that the DG834GUv5 uses. Classical routing
	should be selected only by experienced users.a
	• Disable Firewall. This disables the firewall in addition to
	disabling NAT. With the firewall disabled, the protections
	usually provided to your network are disabled.
