If all else fails in the installation, what can I do? Reset the router by holding down the reset button for at least three seconds and reset your cable or DSL modem by powering the unit off and then on. Obtain and flash the latest firmware release that is readily available on Linksys website, www.linksys.com.

How will I be notified of new router firmware upgrades? All Linksys firmware upgrades are posted on the Linksys website at www.linksys.com, where they can downloaded for free. The router's firmware can be upgraded with TFTP programs.

Does the Cable/DSL Router support IPsec? No, not currently. An IPsec pass thru solution is being developed by Linksys.

NAT and TCP/IP port inspections.

I am not able to get the web configuration screen for the router. What can I do?

You may have to remove the proxy settings on your Internet browser, e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Or remove the dial-up settings on your browser. Check with your browser documentation.

What is DMZ? Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP Address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a stat- ic IP if you want to use DMZ.

If DMZ is used, does the exposed user share the public IP with the Router? No.

Does the Router pass PPTP packets or actively route PPTP sessions? The router

allows PPTP packets to pass through.

What is the maximum number of users supported by the router? The router sup-

ports up to 253 users.
