NETGEAR DSL Modem Internet Gateway DG814 - Manual (Page 50)

Reference Manual for the Model DG814 DSL Modem Internet Gateway
4-10 Basic Configuration of the Gateway
Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access
the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your gateway will automatically log you
in.
3. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically
transmit DNS addresses to the gateway during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter
the IP address of your ISP’s Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is
available, enter it also.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP addresses of one or
two DNS servers to your gateway during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you
must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. If you enter an address here, you
should reboot your PCs after configuring the gateway.
4. ISP Parameters for Internet Access: The Multipling Method and VPI/VCI discovered by the
Smart Wizard are displayed here. You should not need to change these.
5. Click on Apply, then proceed to “Completing the Configuration“ on page 4-12 .
Manual Configuration
You can manually configure the gateway in the Basic Settings menu shown in Figure 4-2 using
these steps:
1. Select whether your Internet connection requires a login.
Select ‘Yes’ if you normally must launch a login program such as Enternet or WinPOET in
order to access the Internet.
• If your service provider does not require a login program enter your Account Name (may
also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These parameters may be necessary to
access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers.
Proceed to Step 2
• If your service provider uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), select Encapsulation as PPP
over Ethernet, and enter these additional parameters:
a. Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are
case sensitive.
b. If your connection supports multiple ISPs, enter the Service Name of the one you use.
Otherwise leave Service Name blank.
