Manually Configuring your Router
Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)
Note
: This advanced feature should be
employed by advanced users only.
Before enabling this function,
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD
.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router
shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the other computers
on your network. This function should only be used if your ISP assigns you
multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system
configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the
computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Other
problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions.
Enabling/Disabling UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by
your Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice
messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-
compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured
in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP
and UDP ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application
that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router,
basically “telling” the Router which way it needs the firewall
configured. The Router ships with the UPnP feature disabled. If
you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish
to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the UPnP
feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of
the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update
This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to
automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the
new firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s Web-Based
Advanced User Interface, the Router will perform a check to see if new
firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to download
the new version or ignore it. The Router ships with this feature disabled.
If you want to disable it, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.

Setting Up your Computers
68
In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you
will need to change your computer’s “TCP/IP / Ethernet” settings to “Obtain
an IP address automatically / Using DHCP”. This is normally the default
setting in most home computers.
You can set up the computer that is connected to the ADSL modem FIRST
using these steps. You can also use these steps to add computers to your
Router after the Router has been set up to connect to the Internet.
