D-Link DVA-G3340S [16/78] Additional settings for dynamic ip address connections

4. Some ISPs record the unique MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter

when you first access their network. This can prevent the Router (which has a

different MAC address) from being allowed access to the ISPs network (and the

Internet). To clone the MAC address of your computer’s Ethernet adapter, type in

the MAC address in the Cloned MAC Address field and click the Clone MAC

Address button.

5. Leave the MTU value at the default setting (default = 1400) unless you have

specific reasons to change this (see table below).

7. The Firewall should remain enabled for most users. If you choose to disable this

you will not be able to use the features configured in the Firewall and Filters

menus located in the Advanced directory. See the next chapter for more details

on these menus.

8. Most users will not need to change ATM settings. If this is the first time you are

setting up the ADSL connection it is recommended that you leave the Service

See the table on page 22 for a description of the parameters available for ATM

and then click the Save & Reboot menu button. In the Save and Reboot menu,

click the Reboot button under Force the DVA-G3340S to system restart. The

Router will save the new settings and restart. Upon restarting the Router will

automatically establish the WAN connection.
