Single-User Account
In a single-user account, you are assigned only one registered Internet Protocol (IP) address. This
address may be a permanent fixed address or it may be a different address assigned dynamically
each time you log in to the account. The NAT feature of your router will map the IP addresses
assigned to your network to this address for accessing the Internet. Some applications may be
incompatible with NAT.
LAN Account
In a LAN account, you will be assigned a registered IP address for your router and for each PC or
workstation in your local network. A LAN account is typically more expensive than a single-user
account.
Account Information
Your ISP should give you the following basic information for your account whether it is a
single-user or LAN account:
• A local phone number for accessing the ISP
• A login name
• A password
• IP address(es) unless they are to be dynamically assigned
• IP addresses of the ISP’s Domain Name Servers (DNS)
