This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your DG834 ADSL Firewall
Router.
Configuring Advanced Security
The DG834 ADSL Firewall Router provides a variety of advanced features, such as:
• Setting up a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Server
• Connecting Automatically, as Required
• Disabling Port Scan and DOS Protection
• Responding to a Ping on the Internet WAN Port
•MTU Size
• The flexibility of configuring your LAN TCP/IP settings
• Using the Router as a DHCP Server
• Configuring Dynamic DNS
• Configuring Static Routes
These features are discussed below.
Setting Up A Default DMZ Server
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these
applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function
well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computer’s IP
address is entered as the Default DMZ Server.
