A.2 Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Gateway will support?

The Gateway will support up to 253 IP addresses.

Does the Gateway support IPX or AppleTalk?

No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications.

IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections, but those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to a LAN.

Does the Internet connection of the Gateway support 100 Mbps Ethernet?

The Gateway’s current hardware design supports up to 100 Mbps Ethernet on WAN port however, the Internet connection speed will vary depending on the speed of your broadband connection. The Gateway also supports 100Mbps over the auto- sensing Fast Ethernet 10/100 switch on the LAN side of the Gateway.

What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for?

112

Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Gateway to be used when only one TCP/IP address is provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP.

Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play simultaneously with just one public IP address?

It depends on which network game or what kind of game server you are using. For example, Unreal Tournament supports multi-login with one public IP.

How can I block corrupted FTP downloads?

If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download a file with your FTP client, try using another FTP program.

If all else fails in the installation, what can I do?
