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.
