Internet Setup Screen Fields: Fields That Display Irrespective of Whether Login Is Required
These fields display irrespective of whether your ISP requires a login:
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 requires specific servers, select this
option. Enter the IP address of your ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server
address is available, enter it also.
Router MAC Address. The Ethernet MAC address that the modem router uses on the
Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address
of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer’s MAC
address (also called cloning).
•Use Default Address. Use the default MAC address.
•Use Computer MAC Address. The modem router captures and uses the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using. You need to use the one computer that the ISP
allows.
