Connecting the Router to the Internet
August 2004
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834GT configuration settings
to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834GT in a setting where
you will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoA
1.
If your Internet connection does require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to
the instructions below.
Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to
access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you
in.
2.
Choose PPPoA for the encapsulation method.
3.
Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), and password.
4.
If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how
long the router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the
LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.
5.
When a connection uses PPPoA, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However,
the DG834GT allows this address to be set manually.
•
Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP assigns your IP address.
•
Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP gave you a statically assigned address.
6.
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
•
Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
7.
Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type the
primary and secondary addresses.You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not
require it. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected
devices. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834GT uses. Classical
routing should be selected only by experienced users.
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834GT configuration settings
to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834GT in a setting where
you will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
