Setting Description
Connect Automatically as
Required
• Usually, this option should be enabled, so that an Internet connection is
made automatically, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this
causes high connection costs, you can disable this setting.
• If this setting is disabled, you must connect manually, using the screen that
you access by clicking the Connection Status button on the Status screen.
• If you have an Always on connection, this setting has no effect.
Enable PPPoE Relay When enabled, this feature will allow a PPPoE client on a local PC to connect
to a remote PPPoE server with the gateway acting as a relay agent.
Disable Port Scan and DOS
Protection
The firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service (DOS)
attacks. This protection should be disabled only in special circumstances.
Default DMZ Server This feature is sometimes helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the
firewall security less effective. See “Setting Up a Default DMZ Server” on
page 5-3.
Respond to Ping on Internet
WAN Port
If you want the wireless modem router to respond to a ping from the Internet,
select this check box. This should be used only as a diagnostic tool, since it
allows your wireless modem router to be discovered. Do not select this check
box unless you have a specific reason to do so.
