Description
Connect Automatically, as
Required
Usually, this check box is selected, so that an Internet connection is
made automatically, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this
causes high connection costs, you can disable this setting.
• If disabled, you must connect manually, using the screen accessed
from the Connection Status button on the Router Status screen.
• If you have an “Always on” connection, this setting has no effect.
Enable PPPOE-RELAY
If this check box is selected, this feature allows a PPPoE client on a
local PC to a remote PPPoE server with the gateway acting as a relay
agent.
Disable Port Scan and DOS
Protection
This check box is usually clear so that the firewall protects your LAN
against port scans and denial of service (DOS) attacks. This check box
should be selected only in special circumstances.
Default DMZ Server
This feature is sometimes helpful when you are using some online
games and videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature
because it makes the firewall security less effective. See
