(fixed IP Address, logging ID, etc), please select

Dynamic IP. If you are given a fixed IP (static IP), please select Static

IP. If you are given a user name and a password, please select the type of your ISP provided(PPPoE/BigPond/L2TP/
PPTP). If you are not sure which connection type you use currently, please contact your ISP to obtain the correct

ISP.
