Series
• Dynamic Routing - Sets up the Router so it will automatically adjust to phys-
ical changes in the network’s layout.
• Static Routing - Sets up static routes needed when network information must
travel to a specific host or network.
• DMZ Host - Allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of spe-
cial-purpose services such as online gaming or videoconferencing.
• MAC Address Cloning - Allows you to “clone” your Ethernet adapter’s MAC
address onto the Router.
• Wireless - Allows you to set up advanced wireless settings.
From the Filters screen, shown in Figure 5-11, you can block specific internal
users from accessing the Internet and enable Virtual Private Network (VPN)
sessions. You can set up filters by using IP addresses or network port numbers
(or a range of ports).
Filtered Private IP Range To set up a filter using IP addresses, enter the range
of IP addresses you wish to filter in the IP address fields. Users with filtered
IP addresses will not be able to access the Internet at all. If you only want to
filter one IP address instead of a range of IP addresses, enter the same value
into both fields. For instance, if you wish to filter the PC with the IP address
of 192.168.1.5, enter 5 into both fields on one line: 192.168.1.5 ~ 192.168.1.5.
Click the Apply button when finished.
Filtered Private Port Range To filter users by network port number, enter a
network port number or a range of network ports. Select the protocol for each
port number you want to filter, TCP or UDP. Enter the port numbers you want
to filter in the port numbers fields. Users connected to the Router will no
longer be able to access any port number listed there. Click the Apply button
when you’re done.

Private MAC Filter This feature filters the Ethernet adapter’s specific MAC
address from going out to the Internet.
To check your Ethernet adapter’s MAC address, run winipcfg or ipconfig in
the command prompt, depending on which Windows operating system you are
using. To set the MAC filter, click the Edit MAC Filter Setting button. When
a second window appears (see Figure 5-14), select the range in the drop-down
box, and at the MAC number prompt, enter the 12-digit MAC address you want
to filter. Click the Apply button and the Continue button, before closing the
window. For information on obtaining a MAC address, go to “Appendix D:
Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”
