44 Hayes ADSL Ethernet User’s Guide

Game-players frequently designate one computer on their LAN as

a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), and allow all internet traffic to pass

through the firewall to that computer.
To set up a filter for online gaming or to create a DMZ, see

Chapter 2, Online Gaming on page 16.
Make these entries on the WAN IP Filter page of your

Configuration Manager:

Index

A number 1-7 that will identify this filter

configuration.
To associate a filter with an Internet

connection, use the WAN IP Filter field on the

WAN Settings page.

NAT

Network Address Translation. If this check box

is selected, the modem uses its WAN IP address

as the source address for outgoing packets.

NAT must be enabled if you are using private

IP addresses on the LAN.
NAT is enabled by default. If it is disabled,
computers on the LAN must have public IP

addresses.

Enable

If this check box is selected, the rule is enabled.

Use Address

Passthrough

If selected, lets you open up one computer on

the LAN to all traffic allowed by the filter rule.

This allows teleconferencing or game-playing
over the Internet, for example.

LAN IP

Address

Required if NAT is enabled. If NAT is not

enabled and this field is left blank, the ADSL

Ethernet does not use the destination address.

WAN IP
Address

Optional. If blank, the ADSL Ethernet does not
use the source address when it matches packets

against the filter rule. If an address or subnet

specification (for example, 202.68.84.0/24) is

entered, the ADSL Ethernet uses the 202.68.84

(network) part of the address to filter packets.

Protocol

Lets you select tcp, udp, all, or a tcp/udp

application.
