If your ISP is running a DHCP server, select the Obtain an IP automatically option. Your ISP will provide you with an IP address. Your ISP may require you to fill in both the Host Name and Domain Name fields. If your ISP requires MAC address validation, this can be done from the Setup -> MAC address clone screen.
