Internet Connection Type Obtain an IP Automatically If your ISP automatically assigns an IP Address, select Obtain an IP automatically. Your ISP will assign these values. If you check the box for Use the Following DNS Server Addresses, enter a specific DNS Server IP. Multiple DNS IP Settings are common. In most cases, the first available DNS entry is used. Static IP If you have to specify the Internet IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, and DNS Server, select Static IP. You must obtain this information from your ISP. PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) (most DSL users) You have to check with your ISP to make sure whether PPPoE should be enabled or not. If they do use PPPoE: 1. Enter your User Name and Password. 2. If you select Connect on Demand option, the PPPoE connection will be disconnected if it has been idle for a period longer than the Max Idle Time setting. 3. If you select Keep Alive option, the Router will keep the connection alive by sending out a few data packets at the Redial Period, so your Internet service thinks that the connection is still active.
