Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online games or videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the firewall security less effective. For more information, see the following section, Default DMZ Server.

Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the modem router to respond to a ping from the Internet, select this check box. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool because it allows your modem router to be discovered. Do not select this check box unless you have a specific reason.

Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows computers on the LAN to receive the multicast traffic they are subscribed to from the Internet. By default, this check box is selected, and the IGMP proxy is disabled, preventing multicast traffic from the Internet to the LAN. Clear the Disable IGMP Proxying check box to allow multicast traffic from the Internet to the LAN.

MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs, you might need to reduce the MTU. Reduce the MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection. For more information, see Change the MTU Size on page 51.

NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the modem router processes inbound traffic:

-Secured NAT. Provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. By default, the Secured radio button is selected.

-Open NAT. Provides a much less secured firewall, but allows almost all Internet applications to function.

Disable SIP ALG. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Level Gateway (ALG) is enabled by default to optimize VoIP phone calls that use the SIP. Select the Disable SIP ALG check box to disable the SIP ALG. Disabling the SIP ALG might be useful when you are running certain applications.

VPN Passthrough. When the modem router has Network Address Translation (NAT) enabled, it filters encrypted tunnel packets through NAT, causing these packets to become invalid. VPN pass-through allows encrypted tunnel packets to go through without being filtered, and is enabled by default for IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP packets. Do not disable VPN pass-through for IPSec, PPTP, or L2TP unless you have a specific reason.

3.Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.
