Table 5. Ethernet Broadband Settings Fields When Login Not Required
Fields and Check Boxes Description
Account Name (If Required) This is also known as the host name or system name.
For most users, type your account name or user name in this field.
For example, if your main mail account is JerAB@ISP.com, then
put JerAB in this field.
If your ISP has given you a specific host name, then type it (for
example, CCA7324-A).
Domain Name (If Required) For most users, you can leave this field blank, unless required by
your ISP. You can type the domain name of your ISP. For example,
if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type
xxx.yyy.zzz as the domain name.
If you have a domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this
field. (For example, Earthlink Cable might require a host name of
home, and Comcast sometimes supplies a domain name.)
If you have a cable modem, this is usually the workgroup name.
Internet IP Address If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a
fixed IP address, the router finds an IP address for you
automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From
ISP.
If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP has provided
you with the required information. Select Use Static IP Address
and type the IP address, subnet mask and gateway IP address
into the correct fields.
For example:
• IP Address. 24.218.156.183
• Subnet Mask. 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address. 24.218.156.1
Domain Name Server (DNS)
Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their
names.
• If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use
These DNS Servers and type the primary and secondary
addresses.
• Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.
Note: If you get “Address not found” errors when you go to a
website, it is likely that your DNS servers are not set up correctly.
You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
