SpeedStream Wireless DSL Gateway
Appendix A - Troubleshooting
93
Problem:
Some applications do not run properly when using the Gateway.
Solution:
The Gateway processes the data passing through it, so it is not
transparent.
•
If you are running a supported Windows operating system, ensure
that the UPnP feature is enabled. Refer to
UPnP (Universal Plug and
Play)
in Chapter 5 for more information on this feature.
•
If this does not solve the problem or your operating system does not
support UPnP you can use the
DMZ
function. This should work with
almost every application, but:
−
It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled for the
DMZ
computer.
−
Only one (1) computer can use this feature.
•
A third option is to use the “Firewall Snooze Control” feature to
temporarily disable the firewall to allow the application to function
unimpeded. See
“Snooze Control”
in Chapter 5 for more information
on this feature.
