Connection to ISP
This option, shown in Figure 33, allows you to change the
method your Gateway uses to connect to your ISP. You should
only need to change these settings if:
you change your Internet connection password (PPPoE only),
or
your ISP informs you of a change in their settings or you
change ISPs.
Figure 33 Connection to ISP Screen
Select the addressing method that your ISP uses to allocate your
Gateway’s Internet IP address. Choose from the options in the IP
Allocation Mode drop-down box and the screen will refresh with
options relevant to that choice.
If you select Static IP address (to be specified manually) see
Configuring a Static IP Address” on page 40.
If you select Dynamic IP address (automatically allocated) see
Configuring a Dynamic IP Address on page 41.
If you select PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) see Configuring a
PPPoE connection on page 42.
If you select PPTP (used by some European providers) see
Configuring a PPTP connection on page 43.
If you are using One to One NAT your method of connection will
already be fixed to Static. To change to another method of
address allocation you must first turn off One to One NAT. See
Setting up NAT on page 43.
