Wizard-Detected Dynamic IP Account Setup
If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses Dynamic IP assignment,
you will be directed to the menu shown in Figure 3-10 below:
Figure 3-10: Setup Wizard menu for Dynamic IP address
1.
Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These
parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services, such as mail or news servers. If
you leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain
automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.
2. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the firewall
during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary
DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.
Note: DNS servers are required to perform the function of translating an Internet name, such
as www.netgear.com to a numeric IP address. For a fixed IP address configuration, you must
obtain DNS server addresses from your ISP and enter them manually here. You should reboot
your PCs after configuring the firewall for these settings to take effect.
3. The Router’s MAC Address is the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the firewall on
the Internet port.
