Reference Manual for the Model Wireless ADSL Firewall Router DG834G

3-16 Connecting the Router to the Internet

202-10006-05, June 2005

• Internet Connection Does Not Require a Login

6. Usually the default ADSL Settings work fine for most ISPs and you can skip this step. If you

have any problems with your connection, check the ADSL Settings. See “ADSL Settings” on

page 3-19 for more details.

Internet Connection Requires Login and Uses PPPoE

1. If your Internet connection does require login, select Yes and fill in the settings according to

the instructions below.

Note: You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer in order to

access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you

in.

2. Choose PPPoE for the encapsulation method.

3. Enter the login name (frequently the email address your ISP provided), password, and service

name (if required).

4. If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. This determines how

long the router keeps the Internet connection active after there is no Internet activity from the

LAN. Entering an Idle Timeout value of zero means never log out.

5. When a connection uses PPPoE, the IP address is normally assigned automatically. However,

the DG834G allows this address to be set manually.

• Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP assigns your IP address.

• Select “Use Static IP Address” if your ISP gave you a statically assigned address.

6. The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.

• Select “Get Automatically from ISP” if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers.

Your ISP will automatically assign this address.

• Select “Use These DNS Servers” if your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses. Type

the primary and secondary addresses.

7. You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns

private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only

standard routing is performed by this router.

Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834G uses. Classical

routing should be selected only by experienced users.
