Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection Type

to Dynamic IP

A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type
found with cable modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic”
in many cases is enough to complete the connection to your ISP.
Some dynamic connection types may require a host name. You can
enter your host name in the space provided if you were assigned one.
Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic connections
may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was
originally connected to the modem.

1. Host Name

This space is provided to enter a host name that needs to be
visible to your ISP. Enter your host name here and click “Apply
Changes” (3). If your ISP did not assign you a host name, or you
are not sure, leave this blank.

2. Change WAN MAC Address

If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the
service, you can enter a specific MAC address or clone the
current computer’s MAC address through this link.
