8 Asanté FriendlyNET Internet Router with Firewall
2.1 Dynamic IP
This is a very popular type of connection for residential and small business cus-
tomers. Your Internet address settings are furnished dynamically by your ISP.
Characteristics: Cable or DSL modem.
Popular ISPs: Numerous, including Covad TeleSurfer (some plans), Earthlink
Cable and AT&T Broadband.
Tip: If you are unsure which WAN type to choose, try this one first.
Auto-reconnect
Since your network settings (including IP address) are only assigned to you on a
temporary basis, your ISP may disconnect you after a period of inactivity. Check
this box to have the router automatically reconnect your service.
Tip: If you are planning to host any servers (i.e., HTTP web servers), you should
order a static IP address from your ISP and configure the router for the static IP
address.
To save your settings, click on the Save and Restart Router buttons.
