Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type used with cable
modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is enough to
complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types may require
a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if you were
assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections
may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was originally
connected to the modem.
Change WAN MAC Address
If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the service, you can
enter a specific MAC address or clone the current computer’s MAC address
through this link.
