In the Web Configuration page, I omitted the DNS Server field because it does not apply to me, but now the Web Configuration will not let me save the settings.
The DNS fields must not be left blank. If you do not wish to enter DNS Servers, you must enter 0.0.0.0 in those fields.

I don't want to have to connect my PC to the 2-Port Gateway LAN port whenever I make a change to a setting. Can I configure the device from the WAN port?
Yes. Firmware version 1.2 contains a new feature allowing you to press ***1 on the connected analog phone to hear the IP address obtained from a DHCP server. Then, you can connect the device from a PC on the same network. In a browser window's address field, enter http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the 2-Port Gateway's IP address) to access the Web Manager.

      The Run window opens.
    • Type COMMAND or CMD in the Open field and click the OK button.
      The DOS prompt window displays.
    • From the DOS C:\> prompt, type: ipconfig and press the Enter key.
      The command window opens.
    • The IP address displayed should be 192.168.100.xx.
