Netgear FVS318v1 – Prosafe Wireless N VPN Firewall Reference Manual

Connecting the Firewall to the Internet

3-9

If the Setup Wizard determines that your Internet service account uses a login protocol such as 
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), you will be directed to a menu like the PPPoE menu in 

:

1.

Enter your Account Name (may also be called Host Name) and Domain Name. These 
parameters may be necessary to access your ISP’s services such as mail or news servers. If you 
leave the Domain Name field blank, the firewall will attempt to learn the domain 
automatically from the ISP. If this is not successful, you may need to enter it manually.

2.

Enter the PPPoE login user name and password provided by your ISP. These fields are case 
sensitive. If you wish to change the login timeout, enter a new value in minutes. Entering zero 
will keep the router connected to the Internet indefinitely.

You will no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your PC in order to access 

the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your firewall will automatically log you 
in.

3.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Address: If you know that your ISP does not automatically 
transmit DNS addresses to the firewall 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.
