to use. This option is commonly used for cable modem services.

if you are not sure.
Check the box if you are having problems obtaining an IP address from
your ISP.
Enter the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses assigned by your
ISP. These addresses are usually obtained automatically from your ISP. Leave
at 0.0.0.0 if you did not specifically receive these from your ISP.
Maximum Transmission Unit - you may need to change the MTU for optimal
performance with your specific ISP. 1500 is the default MTU.

address on the broadband router. It is not recommended that you change
the default MAC address unless required by your ISP. You can use the Clone

with the MAC address of your Ethernet card.
