Dynamic IP Address connection setup menu
To configure a Dynamic IP Address Internet connection, follow these steps:
1. Select the Dynamic IP (DHCP) option from the My Internet Connection is: pull-down menu.
2. Under the Dynamic IP heading, type a Host Name if needed, and DNS IP address information. The
Primary DNS Address will be normally be required, the Secondary DNS Address is used for a
back up DNS server.
3. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter when you first
access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a different MAC address) from being
allowed access to the ISPs network (and the Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s
Ethernet adapter, type in the MAC address in the MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC
Address button.
4. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1500) unless you have specific reasons to
change this (see table below for more information).
