FR328S ProSafe Firewall with Dial Back-Up Reference Manual v2

3-12 Connecting the Firewall to the Internet

M-10207-01, Reference Manual v2

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 PC when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC

address of that PC. This feature allows your firewall to masquerade as that PC by using its

MAC address.

5. Click Test to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR website does not appear within
