12 How do I configure my router for KaZaA and

Grokster?

The following is for KaZaA, Grokster, and others using the FastTrack P2P ﬁle sharing

system.

In most cases, you do not have to conﬁgure anything on the router or on the Kazaa

software. If you are having problems, please follow steps below:

Step 1:

Enter the IP Address of your router in a web browser (192.168.0.1).

Step 2:

Enter your username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 3:

Click on Advanced and then click Virtual Server.

Step 4:

Click Enabled and then enter a Name (kazaa for example).

Step 5:

Enter the IP Address of the computer you are running KaZaA from in the Private

IP box. Select TCP for the Protocol Type.

Step 6:

Enter 1214 in the Private and Public Port boxes. Click Always under schedule

or set a time range. Click Apply.

Make sure that you did not enable proxy/ﬁrewall in the KaZaA software.

13 How do I conﬁgure my router to play Warcraft 3?

You must open ports on your router to allow incoming trafﬁc while hosting a game in

Warcraft 3. To play a game, you do not have to conﬁgure your router.

Warcraft 3 (Battlenet) uses port 6112.

Step 1:

Open your web browser and enter the IP Address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Enter username (admin) and your password (leave blank).

Step 2:

Click on

Advanced

and then click

Virtual Server

.

Step 3:

Create a new entry: Click

Enabled

. Enter a name (warcraft3). Private IP - Enter

the IP Address of the computer you want to host the game. Select

TCP

for Protocol

Type Enter

6112

for both Private Port and Public Port Click

Always

or set a schedule.

Step 4 Click

Apply

and then

Continue

.

Note: In order to host a Warcraft 3 game, you need to be able to accept both types of

trafﬁc on the computer that is running this game. To ensure this, please repeat steps

1-4 and this time make sure to select

UDP

for Protocol Type.

Note: If you want multiple computers from you LAN to play in the same game that

you are hosting, then repeat the steps above and enter the IP Addresses of the other

computers. You will need to change ports. Computer #2 can use port 6113, computer

#3 can use 6114, and so on.

14 How do I use NetMeeting with my D-Link Router?

Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses

DYNAMIC PORTS

instead of

STATIC PORTS. That means that each NetMeeting connection is somewhat different

than the last. For instance, the HTTP web site application uses port 80. NetMeeting

can use any of over 60,000 different ports.

All broadband routers using (only) standard NAT and all internet sharing programs like

Microsoft ICS that use (only) standard NAT will NOT work with NetMeeting or other

h.323 software packages.

The solution is to put the router in DMZ.

Note: A few hardware manufacturers have taken it on themselves to actually provide

H.323 compatibility. This is not an easy task since the router must search each incoming

packet for signs that it might be a netmeeting packet. This is a whole lot more work

than a router normally does and may actually be a

weak point in the ﬁrewall

. D-Link

is not one of the manufacturers.

15 What is NAT?

NAT stands for

Network Address Translator

. It is proposed and described in RFC-

1631 and is used for solving the IP Address depletion problem. Basically, each NAT

box has a table consisting of pairs of local IP Addresses and globally unique addresses,

by which the box can “translate” the local IP Addresses to global address and vice

versa. Simply put, it is a method of connecting multiple computers to the Internet (or

any other IP network) using one IP Address.

D-Link´s broadband routers (ie: DI-634M) support NAT. With proper conﬁguration,

multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device.

Appendix

Securing Your Network

1. Change Admin Password

Changing the password to access your new router is the ﬁrst step in securing your

network.

This can done through the Wizard or on the Admin Page of the Tools tab.

There is no password by default and hackers will know this when trying to access

your network.

Make sure that the password you choose is not commonly known or

something that is easy to guess such as your last name or your pet’s name. Try using

a combination of letters and numbers to deter intruders from hacking into your network.

Your private information should be kept private.

2. Change your SSID

3. Enable WEP and WPA

4. Change the default LAN IP address

Change the default LAN IP address from 192.168.0.1 to an alternate IP address. There

are 3 ranges of IP addresses that have been reserved for use on Private Networks.

10.0.0.0

-

10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8)

172.16.0.0 -

172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12)

192.168.0.0 -

192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16)

D-Link routers use 192.168.0.1 as their default LAN IP address. Choosing an alternate

IP address lessens the probability of an intruders knowing what IP network your devices

are on.

5. Set up MAC Filtering

Each networking device (router, network card, etc) on a network contains a unique

hexadecimal number that identiﬁes that speciﬁc product.

This number is referred to as

a MAC address.

MAC ﬁltering allows you to create a list of the MAC address of each

device on your network and only allows these speciﬁc devices to associate with your

network. With this feature enabled, devices attempting to connect to your network with

a MAC address that is not in the list you created, will be denied access.
