Note
: RIP can’t be configured on the WAN interface which has NAT enabled (such as PPPoE). Click
Apply to apply your settings.
DNS
DNS, Domain Names system, is a distributed database of TCP/IP application. DNS provides
translation of Domain name to IP.
DNS
IPv4
Three ways to set an IPv4 DNS server
i
Select DNS server from available WAN interfaces: Select a desirable WAN interface as
the IPv4 DNS server.
i
User the following Static DNS IP address: To specify DNS server manually by entering
your primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
i
Use the IP address provided by Parental Control Provider: If user registers and gets an
DNS account in the parental control provider website, expecting to enjoy a more reliable
and safer internet surfing environment, please select this option (need to configure at
Parental
Control Provider).
IPv6:
IPv6 DNS Server’s operation is similar to IPv4 DNS server. There are two modes to get DNS server
address: Auto and Static mode.
Obtain IPv6 DNS info from a WAN interface
I
WAN Interface selected: Select one configured IPv6 WAN connection from the drop-down
menu to be as an IPv6 DNS.
Use the following Static IPv6 DNS address
I
Primary IPv6 DNS Server / Secondary IPv6 DNS Server: Type the specific primary and
secondary IPv6 DNS Server address.

Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing
users whose ISP does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially
useful for hosting servers via your ADSL connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may
use your domain name, rather than having to use your dynamic IP address, which changes from time
to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the router, which is assigned to you by
your ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es).
Click Add to register a WAN interface with the exact DNS.
You will first need to register and establish an account with the Dynamic DNS provider using their
website, for example http://www.dyndns.org/
Dynamic DNS Server
: Select the DDNS service you have established an account with.
Host Name, Username and Password:
Enter your registered domain name and your username and
password for this service.
Selected WAN Interface
: Select the Interface that is bound to the registered Domain name.
User can register different DDNS to different interfaces.
Examples:
Note first users have to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account.
User test register two Dynamic Domain Names in DDNS provider http://www.dyndns.org/ .
1. pppoe_0_8_35 with DDNS: www.hometest.com using username/password test/test

2. ipoe_ethO with DDNS: www.hometest1.co m using usemame/password test/test.
DNS Proxy
DNS proxy is used to forward request and response message between DNS Client and DNS Server.
Hosts in LAN can use router serving as a DNS proxy to connect to the DNS Server in public to
correctly resolve Domain name to access the internet.
DNS Proxy: Select whether to enable or disable DNS Proxy function, default is enabled.
Host name of the Broadband Router: Enter the host name of the router. Default is home.gateway.
Domain name of the LAN network: Enter the domain name of the LAN network. home.gateway.
Static DNS
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS; in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static
without change.
You can map the specific IP to a user-friendly domain name. In LAN, you can map a PC to a domain
name for convenient access. Or you can set some well-known Internet IP mapping item so your router
will response quickly for your DNS query instead of querying from the ISP’s DNS server.

Host Name:
Type the domain name (host name) for the specific IP.
IP Address
: Type the IP address bound to the set host name above. Click Add to save your settings.
Static ARP
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol that allows the resolution of network layer
addresses into the link layer addresses. And “Static ARP” here allows user to map manually the layer-
3 MAC (Media Access Control) address to the layer-2 IP address of the device.
IP Address
: Enter the IP of the device that the corresponding MAC address will be mapped to.
MAC Address
: Enter the MAC address that corresponds to the IP address of the device. Click Add to
confirm the settings.
UPnP
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control
and data transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers
through UPnP NAT Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much
easier by letting the application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control
advanced configuration of their device.
Both the user’s Operating System and the relevant application must support UPnP in addition to the
router. Windows XP and Windows Me natively support UPnP (when the component is installed), and
Windows 98 users may install the Internet Connection Sharing client from Windows XP in order to
support UPnP. Windows 2000 does not support UPnP.
UPnP:
i
Enable: Check to enable the router’s UPnP functionality.
i
Disable: Check to disable the router’s UPnP functionality.

Installing UPnP in Windows Example
Follow the steps below to install the UPnP in Windows Me.
Step 1: Click Start and Control Panel. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
Step 2: Click on the Windows Setup tab and select Communication in the Components selection box.
Click Details.
Step 3: In the Communications window, select the Universal Plug and Play check box in the
Components selection box.
Step 4: Click OK to go back to the Add/Remove Programs Properties window. Click Next.
Step 5: Restart the computer when prompted.
