You can configure the WAN ports MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning 
the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Once it is successfully configured, the

you change the setting or upload a different rom file.

third wizard screen.

instance myhost.dhs.org, where myhost is a name of your choice) that will never change 
instead of using an IP address that changes each time you reconnect. Your friends or...
