NETGEAR DG834GUv5 Reference Manual page 41

Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834G configuration settings to
the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834G in a setting where you
will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.
Internet Connection Does Note Require A Login
1. If your Internet connection does not require a login, select No and fill in the settings according
to the instructions below.
2. Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name.
These parameters may be necessary to access your ISP's mail or news servers.
3. Internet IP Address:
• Select "Get Dynamically from ISP" if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign these addresses.
• Select "Use Static IP Address" if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP
address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the IP Subnet Mask and
the Gateway IP Address. The gateway is the ISP's ADSL modem router to which your
ADSL modem router will connect.
• Select "IP Over ATM (IPoA)" if your ISP uses Classical IP Addresses (RFC1577). Enter
the IP address, IP Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP Addresses that your ISP assigned.
4. Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:
• Select "Get Dynamically from ISP" if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address.
Your ISP will automatically assign this address.
• If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the ADSL
modem router 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.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of one
or two DNS servers to your ADSL modem router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an
address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here.
5. 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.
