Specify the WAN connection type provided by your Internet 
Service Provider, then click [More Configuration] to enter detailed 
configuration
 parameters for the selected connection type.
[Dynamic IP]
The Host Name is optional, but it may be required by some 
ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the WANs physical 
interface on the Barricade™. Use this address when registering 
for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by 
your ISP. If your ISP used the MAC address of an Ethernet 
card as an identifier when first setting up your broadband 
account, connect only the PC with the registered MAC address 
to the Barricade™ and click the [Clone MAC Address] button. 
This will replace the current Barricade™ MAC address with 
the already registered Ethernet card MAC address.
If you are unsure of which PC did the broadband technician 
originally set up, call your ISP and request they register 
a new MAC address for your account. Register using the 
Barricade™s MAC address.

[PPPoE]
Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by 
your Service Provider. The [Service Name] field is normally

unless you have a particular reason to change it.
In [Maximum Idle Time (in minutes)] enter a value to define 
a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection 
is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for 
longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped. Enable 
the [Auto-reconnect] option to automatically re-establish the 
connection when an application attempts to access the 
Internet again.
