ADSL Gateway with 4-Port Switch
5.Enter the IP address of the computer or network device that you want the port server to go to. For example, if the web server’s Ethernet Adapter IP address is 192.168.1.100, you would enter 100 in the field provided. Check “Appendix C: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.
6.Check the Enable option for the port services you want to use. Consider the example below:
Customized Application | External Port | TCP | UDP | IP Address | Enable | |
UT | 7777 to 27900 | X | X | 192.168.1.100 | X |
|
Halflife | 27015 to 27015 | X | X | 192.168.1.105 | X | |
PC Anywhere | 5631 to 5631 |
| X | 192.168.1.102 | X | |
VPN IPSEC | 500 to 500 |
| X | 192.168.1.100 | X | |
When you have completed the configuration, click the Save Settings button.
8.I can’t get the Internet game, server, or application to work.
If you are having difficulties getting any Internet game, server, or application to function properly, consider exposing one computer to the Internet using DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) hosting. This option is available when an application requires too many ports or when you are not sure which port services to use. Make sure you disable all the forwarding entries if you want to successfully use DMZ hosting, since forwarding has priority over DMZ hosting. (In other words, data that enters the Gateway will be checked first by the forwarding settings. If the port number that the data enters from does not have port forwarding, then the Gateway will send the data to whichever computer or network device you set for DMZ hosting.)
•Follow these steps to set DMZ hosting:
1.Access the Gateway’s
2.Check the Port Forwarding pages and disable or remove the entries you have entered for forwarding. Keep this information in case you want to use it at a later time.
•Once completed with the configuration, click the Save Settings button.
9.I forgot my password, or the password prompt always appears when I am saving settings to the Gateway.
•Reset the Gateway to factory default by pressing the Reset button for 10 seconds and then releasing it. If you are still getting prompted for a password when saving settings, then perform the following steps:
1.Access the Gateway’s
2.Enter a different password in the Gateway Password field, and enter the same password in the second field to confirm the password.
3.Click the Save Settings button.
