Chapter 6 Advanced Setup
☞Note: Some DSL providers use PPPoE/PPPoA to establish com- munication with an end user. Other types of broadband Internet connections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either DHCP or Static IP address. If unsure about which connection
is present, check with the Internet Service Provider (ISP) before continuing.
After selecting a connection type, click Next to continue configuring the connection.
Transparent Bridging
Select this option to use the Gateway as a transparent bridge. This option should only be used if the Gateway is being used as a Modem to connect one computer to the Internet via a DSL connection. When the Gateway is being used as a transpar- ent bridge, it does not provide any firewall security.
