Alternate Setup Method
Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection
Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type found 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.
1. Host Name
This space is provided to enter a host name that needs to be visible to your
ISP. Enter your host name here and click “Apply Changes”. If your ISP did
not assign you a host name, or you are not sure, leave this blank.
2. 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.
