5 : Advanced Configuration
Advanced configuration – Host IP
This feature is used in the following situations:
You have Multi-Session PPPoE, and wish to bind each session to a particular PC on your
LAN.
You wish to use the Access Filter feature. This requires that each PC is identified by using
the Host IP screen.
You wish to have different Block URL settings for different PCs. This requires that each PC
is identified by using the Host IP screen. (You do not have to use the Host IP feature to
apply the same Block URL settings to all PCs.)
You wish to reserve a particular (LAN) IP address for a particular PC on your LAN. This
allows the PC to use DHCP (Windows calls this "Obtain an IP address automatically") while
gaining the benefits of a fixed IP address. The PC's IP address will never change, so it can
be accessed by other people and applications.
