Problem: You cannot get a WAN IP address from the ISP
The WAN IP is provided after the ISP verifies the MAC address, hostname or user
ID.
Find out the verification method used by your ISP and configure the
corresponding fields.
If the ISP checks the WAN MAC address, clone the MAC address from a LAN
computer. Click WAN and then the MAC tab, select Spoof this Computer's
MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN
whose MAC address you are cloning.
If the ISP checks the host name, enter your computer's name (refer to the Wizard
Setup section in the Configuring and Troubleshooting the Business Secure Router
SOHO Internet Security Gateway) in the System Name field in the first screen of
the Wizard.
If the ISP checks the user ID, click WAN and then the ISP tab. Check your service
type, user name, and password.
