A.2 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Gateway will support?
The Gateway will support up to 253 IP addresses.
Does the Gateway support IPX or AppleTalk?
No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global
standard for communications.
IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one
node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on Apple and
Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections, but those protocols
cannot connect from the Internet to a LAN.
Does the Internet connection of the Gateway support 100 Mbps Ethernet?
The Gateway’s current hardware design supports up to 100 Mbps Ethernet on WAN
port however, the Internet connection speed will vary depending on the speed of
your broadband connection. The Gateway also supports 100Mbps over the auto-
sensing Fast Ethernet 10/100 switch on the LAN side of the Gateway.
What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for?
Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private
LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security
since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the
Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Gateway to be used when only one TCP/IP
address is provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses behind
this single address provided by the 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 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.
If all else fails in the installation, what can I do?
Reset the Gateway by pressing the reset button (using a paper clip or pencil tip) and
holding it for at least 10 secs, then release. At this point, the Wireless indicator and
DSL indicator will turn off. The reset is in progress. When the Wireless indicator
starts blinking, it means that the reset process is complete. The default settings are
