5. 
Check that an IP address is shown for the WAN port. If an IP address with zeros only is 
shown, or if no IP address is shown, your wireless VPN firewall has not obtained an IP 
address from your ISP.
If your wireless VPN firewall is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, force your 
modem, dish, or router to recognize your new wireless VPN firewall:
1. 
Turn off the power to the modem, dish, or router.
2. 
Turn off the power to your wireless VPN firewall. 
3. 
Wait 5 minutes, and then turn on the power to the modem, dish, or router.
4. 
When the LEDs of the modem, dish, or router indicate that synchronization with the ISP has 
occurred, turn on the power to your wireless VPN firewall.
If your wireless VPN firewall is still unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the 
problem might be one of the following:
Your ISP might require a login program.
 
Ask your ISP whether they require a PPPoE or PPTP type of login.
If your ISP requires a login, you might have incorrectly set the login name and password.
Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name. On the Broadband ISP Settings 
(IPv4) screen, in the Account Name field, enter the host name, system name, or account 
name that was assigned to you by your ISP. You might also have to enter the assigned 
domain name or workgroup name in the Domain Name field, and you might have to enter 
additional information. For more information, see 
Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to the Internet, and might 
check for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:
-
Inform your ISP that you have a new network device, and ask them to use the 
wireless VPN firewall’s MAC address.
-
Configure your wireless VPN firewall to spoof your computer’s MAC address. You can 
do this in the Router’s MAC Address section on the Broadband Advanced Options 
screen. For more information, see the “Configure Advanced WAN Options and Other 
Tasks” section in Chapter 2, “Internet and Broadband Settings,” of the Reference 
Manual
.
If your wireless VPN firewall can obtain an IP address, but an attached computer is unable to 
load any web pages from the Internet:
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses:
 
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 provides the addresses of 
one or two DNS servers for your use. You can configure your computer manually with 
DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.
Your computer might not have the wireless VPN firewall configured as its TCP/IP 
gateway.
