How can I check whether I have static or dynamic IP Addresses? Consult your
ISP to confirm the information.
How do I get mIRC to work with the Gateway? Set port forwarding to 113 for the
computer on which you are using mIRC. If you are experiencing difficulty
after setting the port forwarding, try changing the Direct Client-to-Client
(DCC) settings to a range from 1024 to 1030 on the DCC option and
Forwarding page of the Web-based Setup Utility.
Can Iguess my encapsulation type and VPI/VCI? These settings are dependent on
your telephone company, ADSLISP, service level, and when your line was
installed. It is typically not something that can be guessed or found through
trial and error. It is best to contact your ISP to find these settings.
Will this product work on an SDSL,IDSL or ISDN line? No, those types of lines are
not ADSLtechnologies. The BEFDSR41W will only work on ADSL lines
that support the T1.413i2, G.992.1 (G.dmt), or G.992.2 (G.lite)standards.

ranges of ports.
