Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network
to be placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the
firewall is causing problems with an application such as a game or
video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis.
The computer in the DMZ is
NOT
protected from hacker attacks.
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 take effect. If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it
is possible to select which WAN IP address the DMZ host will be
directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you wish the DMZ host to
direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ host
computer, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.

Using Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address
to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers,
allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from
various locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service,
for up to five host names, free to the Internet community.
The Dynamic DNS
SM
service is ideal for a home website, file server, or
to make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re
at work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always
points to your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes
it. When your IP address changes, your friends and associates can
always locate you by visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!
To register free for your Dynamic DNS host name, please visit

Blocking an ICMP Ping
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 your
Router’s security level.
(1)
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping”
(1)
and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
Utilities
The “Utilities” screen lets you manage different parameters of the
Router and perform certain administrative functions.
