DHCP server on the ISP’s network.

To configure a Dynamic IP Address connection, perform the steps listed below.

Dynamic IP Address connection setup menu

To configure a Dynamic IP Address Internet connection, follow these steps:

1. Select the Dynamic IP (DHCP) option from the My Internet Connection is: pull-down menu.

2. Under the Dynamic IP heading, type a Host Name if needed, and DNS IP address information. The

Primary DNS Address will be normally be required, the Secondary DNS Address is used for a

back up DNS server.

3. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first

access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being

allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s

Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC

Address button.

4. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1500) unless you have specific reasons to

change this (see table below for more information).

5. Click on the Save Settings button to save and apply the new Internet connection settings.
