Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

Note: Some

DSL

providers use

PPP

o

E/PPPoA

to establish com-

munication with an end user. Other types of broadband Internet
connections (such as fixed point wireless) may use either

DHCP

or static

IP

address. If unsure about which connection is

present, check with the Internet Service Provider (

ISP)

before

continuing.

After selecting a connection type, click Next to continue configuring the connection.

Transparent Bridging

Select this option to use the Modem as a transparent bridge. This option should
only be used if the Modem is being used to connect only one computer to the
Internet via a DSL connection. When the Modem is being used as a transparent
bridge, it does not provide any firewall security.
