4.1Wizard Setup – Screen 1

4.1.1 General Setup and System Name

General Setup contains administrative and system-related information. System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should enter your computer's "Computer Name".

•In Windows 95/98 click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Network. Click the Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.

•In Windows 2000, click Start -> Settings-> Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the System Name.

4.1.2 Domain Name

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.

4.2Wizard Setup - Screen 2

The Prestige offers three choices of encapsulation. They are Ethernet, PPTP or PPPoE.

4.2.1 Ethernet

Choose Ethernet when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.

4.2.2 PPTP Encapsulation

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfer of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.
