Setting Up Multiple Computers For Half Life, Kali Or Quake Iii; Security - NETGEAR MR814 Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the Model MR814 Wireless Router
• If the IP address of the local PC is assigned by DHCP, it may change when the PC is rebooted.
To avoid this, use the Address Reservations feature in the LAN IP menu to make sure the local
PC always receives the same IP address.
• Local PCs must access the local server by its local LAN address (192.168.0.33 in this
example). Attempts by local PCs to access the server using the external IP address
(172.16.1.23 in this example) will fail.

Setting Up Multiple Computers for Half Life, KALI or Quake III

To set up an additional computer to play Half Life, KALI or Quake III:
Click the button of an unused port in the table.
1.
Select the game again from the Services/Games list.
2.
Change the beginning port number in the Start Port box.
3.
For these games, use the supplied number in the default listing and add +1 for each additional
computer. For example, if you've already configured one computer to play Hexen II (using
port 26900), the second computer's port number would be 26901, and the third computer
would be 26902.
Type the same port number in the End Port box that you typed in the Start Port box.
4.
Type the IP address of the additional computer in the Server IP Address box.
5.
Click Apply.
6.
Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The Model
MR814 router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with
them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local PC can
run the application properly if that PC's IP address is entered as the default in the PORTS Menu. If
one local PC acts as a game or videoconference host, enter its IP address as the default.

The security area lets you configure a DMZ server for
