Fig. 60. TCP/IP Settings for Router with Multiple

DSL/Cable Connections Mode.

Since the Internet connection can be PPPoE-based, DHCP-based, or Static- IP-based, the addressing settings of each WAN interface are the same as those of Router with a PPPoE-Based DSL/Cable Connection, DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection, or Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection, respectively. As a result, refer to previous sections for more information.

2.4.2.1.DNS Proxy

SMCWHSG44-G provides the DNS Proxy function to enhance the network flexibility. Once the DNS Proxy function is enabled, SMCWHSG44-G will forward the DNS request from the client to a remote DNS server, the destination IP address response will also be forwarded by the DNS Proxy. The benefit is to allow the wireless clients to point the DNS to the IP address of the SMCWHSG44-G, no remote DNS IP address is required to be set on the wireless clients.

The setting of DNS Proxy corresponds with the 'Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection' of the WAN interface. If multiple WAN ports are enabled, all the DNS Proxy settings of the bound WAN ports under 'Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection' settings will be shown. For example, if WAN1 to WAN4 are all enabled and WAN1, WAN3, and WAN4 are using 'Router with a Static-IP DSL/Cable Connection' mode, the DNS Proxy set- tings will be shown as below:
