Where do I find out the following info? 1. Get Dynamically From ISP (this choice doesn't work) 2. Use Static IP Address (where to find this info?) -- IP Address -- IP Subnet Mask -- Gateway IP Address normally Dynamically (DHCP) is the right choice, often a static address costs more (but can be usefull if you are running a server that you want to have an ip-adress that don't change over time), and as steve say if you have a static ip you should have got some info from your internet provider... on some "welcome"-paper perhaps? The reason that it doesn't work for you is probably something else, perhaps your internet provider belongs to the stone age and requires you to use PPPoE or something like that? you should have got some login/password info from them if so... Domain Name Server (DNS) 1. Address Get Automatically From ISP (this choice doesn't work) should normally allso be DHCP "Automatically" but you can set it manually if you like, to the values you got from the ISP (or from a third-party DNS-provider). it is the ip-number to the server that translates names (like "thepiratebay.org") to numbers ("83.140.65.11") so it is kind of important that it allways work the secondary is a reserve if the primary doesn't work. 2. Use These DNS Servers: (where to find this info?) -- Primary DNS -- Secondary DNS QUESTION 5 Router MAC Address 3. Use This MAC Address (where to find this info?) router mac addess normally doesn't mather. but perhaps you must restart the router after you change it. you can set it to just anything. Ask your ISP what settings to use with their service. |
