Use this screen to set up general system settings, change the system mode, change the 
password, configure the DDNS server settings, and set the current date and time.

System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name 
you should enter your computer's  "Computer Name". 

• In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the 

Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the 
System Name.

• In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings and Control Panel and then double-click 

System. Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the 
entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the System Name.

• In Windows XP, click Start, My Computer, View system information and then click 

the Computer Name tab. Note the entry in the Full computer name field and enter it as 
the ZyXEL Device System Name.

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave 
this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter 
the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned 
from the ZyXEL Device via DHCP.

Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and 
vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is 
extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before 
you can access it. 

The ZyXEL Device can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways.
