3.2 Basic Settings
3.2.1 Basic Settings
Note: If you are setting up the Router for the first time, the default settings may work for you with no
changes.
Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login?
Select this option based on the type of account you have with your ISP. If you need to enter login
information every time you connect to the Internet or you have a PPPoE account with your ISP,
select Yes. Otherwise, select No.

All Rights Reserved
Note: If you have installed PPP software such as WinPoET (from Earthlink) or Enternet (from
PacBell), then you have PPPoE. Select Yes. After selecting Yes and configuring your Router, you
will not need to run the PPP software on your PC to connect to the Internet.
Account Name
(also known as Host Name or System Name)
For most users, type your account name or user name in this box. For example, if your main mail
account is [email protected], then put JerAB in this box.
If your ISP has given you a specific Host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A).
Domain Name
For most users, you may leave this box blank, unless required by your ISP. You may type the
domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would type
xxx.yyy.zzz as the Domain Name.
If you have a Domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this box. (For example, Earthlink
Cable may require a Host name of 'home' and Comcast sometimes supplies a Domain name.)
Internet IP Address
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the Router will
find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP.
If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP will have provided you with the required
information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address into the correct boxes.
For example:
• IP Address: 24.218.156.183
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address: 24.218.156.1

DNS Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and type the
primary and secondary addresses.
Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.
Note: If you get 'Address not found' errors when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS
servers aren't set up properly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows all LAN PCs to gain Internet access via this Router, by sharing this Router's WAN IP
address. In most situations, NAT is essential for Internet access via this Router. You should only
disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is
performed by this Router.

3.2.2 Logs
Your router will log security-related events such as denied incoming service requests, hacker probes,
and administrator logins, according to your settings on this screen.
If you have set up content filtering on the Block Sites page, you can also log when someone on
your network tried to access a blocked site.
If you have E-mail notification on, you'll receive these logs in an E-mail message. If you don't have
E-mail notification set up, you can view the logs here.
To delete all log entries:
• Click Clear Log.
To see the most recent entries:
• Click Refresh.
To E-mail the log now:

Include in Log
Use these checkboxes to determine which events are included in the log. Checking all options will
increase the size of the log, so it is good practice to disable any events which are not really required.
• Known DoS attacks and Port Scans - If checked, Denial of Service attacks, as well as port
scans, will be logged.
• Attempted access to blocked sites - If checked, attempted Internet accesses which were
blocked are logged.
• Router Administration - If checked, other Router operations (not covered by the selections
above) will be logged.
• All Websites and newsgroups visited - If checked, all visited websites and newsgroups are
logged.

All Rights Reserved
• Local activity - If checked, this will log connections to this Router, rather than through this
Router to the Internet.
• All incoming and Outgoing traffic - All incoming and outgoing connections are logged.
Checking this will generate a large number of log entries, and is only recommended if using
a Syslog server.
Syslog
Enable one of these three options, as required:
• Disable - Select this if you don't have a Syslog server.
• Broadcast on LAN - the Syslog data is broadcast, rather than sent to a specific Syslog server.
Use this if you Syslog Server does not have a fixed IP address.
• Send to this Syslog server IP address - If your Syslog server has a fixed IP address, select
this option, and enter the IP address of your Syslog server.
3.2.3 Block sites
If you want to prevent access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use the router's content
filtering feature. You can specify up to 32 words that, should they appear in the website name
(URL) or newsgroup name, will cause the site to be blocked by the router. When users try to
access a blocked site, they will get a message: "Blocked by NETGEAR".

3.2.4 Rules
The Firewall will always block DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. A DoS attack does not attempt to
steal data or damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it - the
service is unavailable.
As well, you can use this screen to create Firewall rules to block or allow specific traffic. This
feature is for Advanced Administrators only! Incorrect configuration will cause serious
problems.
