Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type to Dynamic IP

A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type used with
cable modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is
enough to complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection
types may require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space
provided if you were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP.
Some dynamic connections may require that you clone the MAC address
of the PC that was originally connected to the modem.

Change WAN MAC Address

If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the service,
you can enter a specific MAC address or clone the current computer’s
MAC address through this link.
