I still assume that is a modem, I do not see any firewall or DNS stuff. But I forgot that any Save and reboot option (button) with this series of D-link (same for wireless router) is not working if you connect by Firefox (at least in Linux) but it is o.k. by Windows Explorer (so I had to recconnect a Windows laptop to save settings and reboot modem): I assumed to have settings for Ppoe but it was not true!!!
