Troubleshooting
4-Port Gigabit Security Router with VPN
Appendix A
What is DMZ Hosting?
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP address (computer)
to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require
multiple TCP/IP ports to be open. It is recommended that
you set your computer with a static IP if you want to use
DMZ Hosting.
If DMZ Hosting is used, does the exposed user share the
public IP with the Router?
No.
Does the Router pass PPTP packets or actively route
PPTP sessions?
The Router allows PPTP packets to pass through.
Is the Router cross-platform compatible?
Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is
compatible with the Router.
How many ports can be simultaneously forwarded?
Theoretically, the Router can establish 2,048 sessions at
the same time, but you can only forward 30 ranges of
ports.
Does the Router replace a modem? Is there a cable or
DSL modem in the Router?
No, this version of the Router must work in conjunction
with a cable or DSL modem.
Which modems are compatible with the Router?
The Router is compatible with virtually any cable or DSL
modem that supports Ethernet.
How can I check whether I have static or DHCP IP
addresses?
Ask your ISP to find out.
How do I get mIRC to work with the Router?
Under the Firewall -> SIngle Port Forwarding tab, set
port forwarding to 113 for the PC on which you are using
mIRC.
