Table 16 Wizard Step 3: WAN IP and DNS Server Addresses
LABEL DESCRIPTION
WAN IP Address Assignment
My WAN IP Address
Enter your WAN IP address in this field. The WAN IP address
should be in the same subnet as your DSL/Cable modem or
router.
My WAN IP Subnet
Mask Enter the IP subnet mask in this field.
Gateway IP Address Enter the gateway IP address in this field.
System DNS Server Address Assignment (if applicable)
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP
address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you
must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG-417N uses a
system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS
and the time server.
First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Enter the DNS server's IP address in the fields provided.
If you do not configure a system DNS server, you must use IP
addresses when configuring DDNS and the time server.
