Configuring Your Internet Connection 3-17
v1.2, October 2006
5. When a connection uses PPPoA, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However,
the DG834G v3 allows this address to be set manually.
• Select “Get Dynamically from ISP” if your ISP assigns your IP address.
• Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP gave you a statically assigned address.
6. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
• Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
• Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type
the primary and secondary addresses.You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do
not require it.
7. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN-connected devices.
When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834G v3 uses. Classical
routing should be selected only by experienced users.
The “Disable Firewall” option disables the firewall in addition to disabling NAT. The
“Disable” option leaves the firewall active. With the firewall disabled, the protections
normally provided to your network will be disabled.
Internet Connection Does Not Require A Login
1. If your Internet connection does not require a login, select No and fill in the settings according
to the instructions below.
2. Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name.
These parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s mail or news servers.
3. Internet IP Address:
• Select “Get Dynamically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign these addresses.
• Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP
address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the IP Subnet Mask and
the Gateway IP Address. The gateway is the ISP’s modem router to which your modem
router will connect.
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834G v3
configuration settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to
install the DG834G v3 in a setting where you will be manually administering
the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
