The Domain Name (host name) is the name given to you by your ISP provider if you using the @Home cable Internet service. Choose the Type of Connection you use by selecting Dynamic IP, Static IP, or PPPoE. Select Dynamic IP if your ISP has not given you a unique IP address and you receive an automatic IP address each time you connect to your ISP. The rest of the settings related to your connection are retrieved automatically each time you connect to the Internet. Select Static IP if your ISP assigns you an IP address. This means that your ISP has given you an IP address that you will use to connect to the Internet through their service. If you select Static IP, you will need to enter the correct values for the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway in the fields provided. Select PPPoE if your ISP uses the Point-to-Point over Ethernet protocol to authenticate a username and password and then automatically assign you an IP Address. PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a non-standard method of connecting to your ISP to obtain an IP address. It relies upon a software client that is provided by the ISP. If you have a broadband connection and login to your ISP like you would do with a dial-in modem, then you are probably using PPPoE. If you are simply connected to the Internet when you turn on your computer, you probably are not. The safest way to check is to call your ISP or read the documentation provided when you signed up for your Internet service. If you select PPPoE, you will need to enter the correct values for your User Name and Password in the fields provided. The DNS section needs to be set to the correct option in order for the DI-711 to resolve domain name information in URL's. 19
