Chapter 4 Using 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 Modem as a transparent bridge. This option should only be used if the Modem is being used to connect only one computer to the Internet via a DSL connection. When the Modem is being used as a transparent bridge, it does not provide any firewall security.
