previous wizard screen.

System DNS Servers

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its

corresponding IP address and vice versa, e.g., the IP address of

www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important

because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you

can access it.

First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information

(and the ZyWALL's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the

(read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the

DNS server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not

configure a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when

configuring VPN, DDNS and the time server.

WAN MAC Address

The MAC address field allows you to configure the WAN port's MAC

Address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from

a computer on your LAN.

Factory Default

Select this option to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.

Spoof this Computer's

MAC Address - IP

Address

Select this option and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN

whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the address

will be copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change

unless you change the setting or upload a different rom file. It is advisable to

clone the MAC address from a computer on your LAN even if your ISP does

not presently require MAC address authentication.
