4.  Dynamic IP via PPTP: This type of connection is called the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol 

over Ethernet (PPTPoE) and provides a secure connection over the Internet and is normally used 
when connecting to a remote LAN through the Internet. In a manner similar to PPPoE, your ISP 
requires you to enter a user name and password in order to identify you. You also need to enter 
an IP address that is “tunneled” through the Internet. 

PPTP Local IP address: The “tunneled” IP address provided by your ISP. 
PPTP Local Net mask: the IP Network mask associated with the above address. 
PPTP Remote IP address: the IP address from your ISP 
User name: the user name of your ISP account. 
Password: the password of your ISP account.   

 

MAC Address: Some ISPs may identify you by a specific MAC address. A MAC address is a 
physical identifier of an Ethernet port, in this case the EWAN port that is connected to the Cable 
modem. If this address is not the MAC address known to the ISP, you can substitute this address 
with the MAC address of the Ethernet network card installed in your PC that was used to identify 
your account. If you need to do this, check the Clone MAC Address selection to replace the 
router MAC address by the MAC address of the Ethernet network card installed in your PC

  Some ISPs may recognize your account using the LAN card MAC address on your PC that you used to access the Internet before the router 

was installed. In this case, you have to copy the LAN card MAC address in the MAC address field. For WIN 95/98/Me, you can run winipcfg 

to see the LAN card MAC address. For WIN 2000/NT/XP, you can run “ipconfig/all” to see the LAN card MAC address.
