Chapter 4
General And WAN Setup
Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information. Clone a LAN
computer MAC address in the Menu 2 - WAN Setup.
4.1 System Name
System Name is for identification purposes. ZyXEL recommends you enter your computer’s “Computer
name”.
• In Windows 95/98 click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel and then double-click Network. Click the
Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the ZyWALL System
Name.
• In Windows 2000 click Start->Settings->Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the
Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name
field and enter it as the ZyWALL System Name.
The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this field
blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name
(System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the ZyWALL via
DHCP.
4.2 Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) allows you to update your current dynamic IP address with one or
many dynamic DNS services so that anyone can contact you (in NetMeeting, CU-SeeMe or other services).
You can also access your FTP server or Web site on your own computer using a DNS-like address (for
example, myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change instead of using an
IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or relatives will always be able to call you
even if they don’t know your IP address.
