Properties tab.) Make sure that your proxy setting is disabled in the browser.
Check our website at www.linksys.com for more information.
If all else fails in the installation, what can I do?
Reset the Router by holding down the reset button until the Diag LED fully
turns on and off. Reset your cable or DSL modem by powering the unit off and
then on. Obtain and flash the latest firmware release that is readily available
on the Linksys website, www.linksys.com.
How will I be notified of new Router firmware upgrades?
All Linksys firmware upgrades are posted on the Linksys website at
www.linksys.com, where they can be downloaded for free. To upgrade the
Router’s firmware, use the Help tab of the Router’s web-based utility. If the
Router’s Internet connection is working well, there is no need to download a
newer firmware version, unless that version contains new features that you
would like to use. Downloading a more current version of Router firmware
will not enhance the quality or speed of your Internet connection, and may dis-
rupt your current connection stability.
Will the Router function in a Macintosh environment?
Yes, but the Router’s setup pages are accessible only through Internet Explorer
4.0 or Netscape Navigator 4.0 or higher for Macintosh.
I am not able to get the web configuration screen for the Router. What can I do?
You may have to remove the proxy settings on your Internet browser, e.g.,
Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Or remove the dial-up settings on
your browser. Check with your browser documentation, and make sure that
sure that your browser is set to connect directly and that any dial-up is disabled.
For Internet Explorer, click Tools, Internet Options, and then the Connection
tab. Make sure that Internet Explorer is set to Never dial a connection. For
Netscape Navigator, click Edit, Preferences, Advanced, and Proxy. Make
sure that Netscape Navigator is set to Direct connection to the Internet.
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. To get the LAN IP address, see “Appendix D: Finding the MAC
Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”
Does the Router support ICQ send file?
Yes, with the following fix: click ICQ menu -> preference -> connections
tab->, and check I am behind a firewall or proxy. Then set the firewall time-
out to 80 seconds in the firewall setting. The Internet user can then send a file
to a user behind the Router.
I set up an Unreal Tournament Server, but others on the LAN cannot join. What do
I need to do?
If you have a dedicated Unreal Tournament server running, you need to create
a static IP for each of the LAN computers and forward ports 7777, 7778, 7779,
7780, 7781, and 27900 to the IP address of the server. You can also use a port
forwarding range of 7777 ~ 27900. If you want to use the UT Server Admin,
forward another port. (Port 8080 usually works well but is used for remote
admin. You may have to disable this.) Then in the [UWeb.WebServer] section
of the server.ini file, set the ListenPort to 8080 (to match the mapped port
above) and ServerName to the IP assigned to the Router from your ISP.
Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play simultaneously
with just one public IP address?
It depends on which network game or what kind of game server you are using.
For example, Unreal Tournament supports multi-login with one public IP.
How do I get Half-Life: Team Fortress to work with the Router?
The default client port for Half-Life is 27005. The computers on your LAN
need to have “+clientport 2700x” added to the HL shortcut command line; the
x would be 6, 7, 8, and on up. This lets multiple computers connect to the same
server. One problem: Version 1.0.1.6 won’t let multiple computers with the
same CD key connect at the same time, even if on the same LAN (not a prob-
lem with 1.0.1.3). As far as hosting games, the HL server does not need to be
in the DMZ. Just forward port 27015 to the local IP address of the server com-
puter.
How can I block corrupted FTP downloads?
If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download a file with your FTP
client, try using another FTP program.
The web page hangs; downloads are corrupt, or nothing but junk characters are
being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do?
Force your Ethernet adapter to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the
“Auto-negotiate” feature of your Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure.
(Please look at the Network Control Panel in your Ethernet adapter’s Advanced
