[. . . ] Some of the settings do not need to be changed the first time the device is set up, but can be changed later if you choose. The information that is to be provided in this window must be given to you by your ISP and must be carefully configured. Any small discrepancy will send the wrong message to your ISP's server and inhibit your connection. There are two ways to configure the PPoE connection on the router, one is for a Dynamic PPPoE configuration, which means the router will implement some settings automatically through DHCP, such as the router's IP address and the default gateway. The other is through a Static PPPoE connection, in which the user must configure the IP address and the DNS addresses automatically. Follow the instructions below to configure the Router to use a PPPoE Internet connection. 23 DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router PPPoE connection setup menu To configure a PPPoE Internet connection, follow these steps: 1. Select the PPPoE (Username / Password) option from the My Internet Connection is: pull-down menu. Choose the IP address assignment option (Dynamic PpoE or Static PPPoE). Static IP address assignement requires manual entry of IP settings information. Under the PPPoE heading, type the User Name and Password used for your account. The Password may be assigned to you by your ISP or you may have selected it when you set up the account with your ISP. For Static PPPoE connections, enter IP settings provided by the ISP and, if necessary enter MAC address (see table below) 5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1492) unless you have specific reasons to change this (see table below for more information). Most users will want to choose the default connection setting, Always ON. 24 DIR-100 Ethernet Broadband Router Settings for PPPoE conntections: PPPoE User Name Password Retype Password Service Name IP Address MAC Address Description The user name supplied to you by your ISP. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected. This field will instruct the user to enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Ethernet Card of your computer, if instructed to do so by your ISP. To quickly accomplish this, click the Duplicate MAC address from the customer end button, which will automatically copy the MAC address of your Ethernet card and enter it into the space provided, which will replace the MAC address of the router. This entry is for the IP address of your primary domain name server, which should also be provided to you by your ISP. The router will first try the Primary DNS Address to resolve a website's URL IP address. If this IP address fails, the router will then try the Secondary DNS Address. This field is only to be completed if the Static PPPoE button is selected. [. . . ] In the Network Properties dialog box, select TCP/IP, and then click Properties. In the TCP/IP Settings dialog box, click the Obtain and IP address automatically option. Double-click OK twice to confirm and save your changes, and then close the Control Panel. Your computer is now ready to use the Router's DHCP server. Windows NT 4. 0 Workstations First, check for the IP protocol and, if necessary, install it: 1. [. . . ]
