provided each computer uses a different public (WAN) IP�
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in
the IP field and select “Enable”� Click “Apply Changes” for the change to

WAN Ping Blocking
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet� By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of
interest might be there� The Router can be set up so it will not respond
to an ICMP ping from the outside� This heightens the level of security of
your Router�
Utilities Tab
This screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router and
perform certain administrative functions�
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” and click “Apply
Changes”� The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping�
