The ping test is used to send ping

packets to test if a computer is on the

Internet. Enter the IP address that you

wish to ping, and click

Ping.

If you choose to block WAN ping, the

WAN IP address of the DWL-G730AP

will not respond to pings. Blocking the

ping may provide some extra

security from hackers.

The DWL-G730AP supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through

for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec

(IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to

open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through

the DWL-G730AP. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on

the LAN network.
