    							2-4-1 Using ‘Cable Modem’ as broadband connection type 
     
    If your Internet service provider uses cable modem to provide Internet 
    service to you, you can select this connection type. You can also select 
    this connection type if your ISP tells you that they will assign you the IP 
    address by ’DHCP’ (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). 
     
     
     
    Here are descriptions of every setup items: 
     
     
    Item Name Description 
    Host Name Please input the host name of your computer, 
    this is optional, and only required if your 
    service provider asks you to do so. 
    MAC address Please input MAC address of your computer 
    here, if your service provider only permits 
    computer with certain MAC address to access 
    internet. If you’re using the computer which 
    used to connect to Internet via cable modem, 
    you can simply press ‘Clone Mac address’ 
    button to fill the MAC address field with the 
    MAC address of your computer. 
    TTL  Time-to-live (TTL) is a value in an Internet 
    Protocol packet that tells a network router 
    whether or not the packet has been in the 
    network too long and should be discarded.

    router, this requires about 30 seconds and the broadband router will stop 
    responding (this is normal and is not malfunction). You can reconnect to 
    this broadband router and continue on other settings later. 
     
      
    						
    							2-4-2 Using ‘Fixed-IP xDSL’ as broadband connection type 
     
    If your ISP requires you to set a fixed IP address to establish connection, 
    you can use this connection type to input the IP address information 
    assigned by your ISP.   
     
    Please note that not only xDSL connections (like ADSL, HDSL, VDSL) 
    can use this connection type, you can select this connection type for all 
    connections that requires you to input a fixed IP address. Also, if your ISP 
    is assigning a fixed IP address to you by DHCP or PPPoE, do not select 
    this connection type. Please contact your ISP’s service hotline to make 
    sure you really need to use static IP as connection type.

    							2-4-4 Using ‘PPTP xDSL’ as broadband connection type 
     
    If your ISP requires you to use PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) 
    to establish connection, you can select this connection type to establish 
    Internet connection. 
     
    PPTP xDSL requires two kinds of setting: WAN interface setting (setup 
    IP address) and PPTP setting (PPTP user name and password). Here we 
    start from WAN interface setting first: 
     
     
     
    Select the type of how you obtain IP address from your service provider 
    here. You can choose ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ (equal to 
    DHCP, please refer to ‘Cable Modem’ section above), or ‘Use the 
    following IP address’ (i.e. static IP address).   
     
    WAN interface settings must be correctly set, or the Internet connection 
    will fail even those settings of PPTP settings are correct. Please contact 
    your Internet service provider if you don’t know what you should fill in 
    these fields.

    							2-4-5 Using L2TP xDSL as broadband connection type 
     
    If your ISP requires you to use L2TP (Layer-2 Tunneling Protocol) to 
    establish connection, you can select this connection type to establish 
    Internet connection. L2TP is another popular connection method for 
    xDSL and other Internet connection types, and all required setting items 
    are the same with PPTP connection. 
     
    Like PPTP, there are two kinds of required setting, we’ll start from ‘WAN 
    Interface Settings’: 
     
     
     
    Please select the type of how you obtain IP address from your service 
    provider here. You can choose ‘Obtain an IP address automatically’ (equal 
    to DHCP, please refer to ‘Cable Modem’ section above), or ‘Use the
