If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the firewall
during login, select “Use these DNS servers” and enter the IP address of your ISP’s Primary
DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also.
Note: DNS servers are required to perform the function of translating an Internet name such
as www.netgear.com to a numeric IP address. For a fixed IP address configuration, you must
obtain DNS server addresses from your ISP and enter them manually here. You should reboot
your PCs after configuring the firewall for these settings to take effect.
3. The Router’s MAC Address is the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the firewall on
the Internet port.
If your ISP allows access from only one specific computer’s Ethernet MAC address, select
“Use this MAC address.” The firewall will then capture and use the MAC address of the
computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the
ISP. Otherwise, you can type in a MAC address.
Note: Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your
computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC
address of that computer. This feature allows your firewall to masquerade as that computer by
using its MAC address.
