Each DNS service provider requires its own parameters (

Figure 4-9

).

Dynamic DNS service provider screens

3.

Access the website of one of the dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the

‘Select Service Provider’ box, and register for an account.

For example, for dyndns.org, go to

www.dyndns.org

.

4.

Select the Use a dynamic DNS service check box.

5.

Select the name of your dynamic DNS Service Provider.

6.

Type the entire FQDN name that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you,

such as myName.dyndns.org.

7.

Type the user name for logging into your dynamic DNS account.

8.

Type the password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account.

9.

If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you may

select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature.

For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same

IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org

Step 6: Configure the WAN Options (If Needed)

Perform the following steps to configure the WAN options:

1.

If you haven’t already, log in to the firewall at its default LAN address of

http://192.168.1.1

with its default user name of

admin

, default password of

password

, or using whatever

password and LAN address you have chosen for the firewall.

2.

From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under WAN Setup, click on Options. You will

get the WAN1 screen shown in

Figure 4-10

and can get the WAN2 screen from there using the

pulldown.

3.

Edit the default information you want to change.

•

MTU Size—The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet

networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you may

need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are

sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.

Note:

If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the

dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on the

Internet.

•

Port Speed—In most cases, your router can automatically determine the connection speed

of the Internet (WAN) port. If you cannot establish an Internet connection and the Internet

LED blinks continuously, you may need to manually select the port speed.

If you know that the Ethernet port on your broadband modem supports 100BaseT, select

100M; otherwise, select 10M. Use the half-duplex settings unless you are sure you need

full duplex.

•

Uplink Bandwidth—Set Uplink Bandwidth as per your requirements. You need to select a

value between 28 kbps to 100 Mbps that represents the maximum speed of your upstream

(outbound) connection. If you are unsure, leave it at the default value of 102,400 kbps. It

will depend on your WAN connection type and ISP.

•

Router's MAC Address—Each computer or router on your network has a unique 32-bit

local Ethernet address. This is also referred to as the computer's MAC (Media Access

Control) address. Usually, select Use default address.

If your ISP requires MAC authentication, then select either Use this Computer's MAC

address to have the router use the MAC address of the computer you are now using or Use

This MAC Address to manually type in the MAC address that your ISP expects.

The format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. If you select Use This MAC

Address and type in a MAC address, do not then select Use this Computer's MAC address

or your entry will be overwritten.

Note

: Respond To Ping On Internet Port—If you want the router to respond to a 'Ping' from

the Internet, see the Respond To Ping On Internet Port checkbox on the Rules menu

(
