Setting your Connection Type
Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection
Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection is the most common connection type used with cable
modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is enough
to complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connections may
require a host name. If your ISP assigned you a host name, you can enter it in
the space provided. Some dynamic connections may require that you clone
the MAC address of the PC that was originally connected to the modem.
1. Host Name
If a host name must be visible to your ISP, enter the host name
your ISP has provided here. Click “Apply Changes”
(3)
. If your
ISP did not assign you a host name, or you are uncertain about
whether your ISP requires a visible host name, leave this field 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.
