WAN Setup Screen Fields
The following fields are available:
•
WAN Preference. By default this field is set to Auto-Detect so that the modem router
automatically detects if the Internet connection is through the ADSL port or the Ethernet
WAN port. You can use this field to select Must use DSL WAN or Must use Ethernet
WAN.
•
Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against
denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, Teardrop Attack,
UDP Flood, ARP Attack, Spoofing ICMP, Null Scan, and many others. This should be
disabled only in special circumstances.
•
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. See the following section,
•
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. The IGPM proxying feature lets a LAN computer receive the
multicast traffic directed to it from the Internet. Selecting this check box prevents this from
occurring.
