Block WAN Request

By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can prevent your network from being pinged, or detected, by other Internet users. The Block WAN Request feature also adds another measure of security to your network by hiding your network ports. Both functions of the Block WAN Request fea- ture make it more difficult for outside users to work their way into your net- work.

Forwarding

Port forwarding sets up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make certain requests of your network, the HomeLink Phoneline Router will forward those requests to the appropriate computer. The HomeLink Phoneline Router's DHCP function must be disabled to use Forwarding.

Phoneline 10M Cable/DSL Router

Forwarding is generally used to set up a webserver, ftp server, or e-mail server on your network. To add a server using Forwarding:

1.Enter the port number used by the server. On the same line, enter the IP Address of the server that you want the Internet users to be able to access.

2.Configure as many entries as you would like until all of the link entries are filled.

3.Click the Apply to save the settings.

Dynamic Routing

With Dynamic Routing you can automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. The HomeLink Phoneline Router, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets’ route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other routers on the network.
