Wireless-B Broadband Router

Series

The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of
hardware for identification, like a social security number. If your ISP requires
MAC address registration, find your adapter’s MAC address by following the
instructions in “Appendix D: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for
Your Ethernet Adapter.”
Enter the 12 digits of your adapter’s MAC address in the on-screen fields (see
Figure 5-18). This “clones” your Ethernet adapter’s MAC address onto the
Router, so you do NOT have to call your ISP to change the registered MAC
address to the Router’s MAC address.
To apply any of the settings you’ve changed on this page, click the Apply but-

From the DMZ Host screen, shown in Figure 5-17, you can expose one local
user to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming and
videoconferencing.
Port Range Forwarding forwards a maximum of 10 ranges of ports, and DMZ
Hosting forwards all the ports for one PC at the same time. DMZ Hosting is
less secure.
• To expose one PC, enter the computer’s IP address. For more information
about finding a computer’s IP address, refer to “Appendix D: Finding the
MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter.”
• Deactivate DMZ by entering 0 in the field. (This is the default setting.)
