Check the box if you are having problems obtaining an IP address from your ISP.
Enter the Primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses assigned by your ISP. These
addresses are usually obtained automatically from your ISP. Leave at 0.0.0.0 if you did not
specically receive these from your ISP.
Maximum Transmission Unit - you may need to change the MTU for optimal performance
with your specic ISP. 1500 is the default MTU.

Broadband Router. It is not recommended that you change the default MAC address unless
required by your ISP. You can use the Clone Your PC’s MAC Address button to replace the
