5.2.6. Configuring the DNS Service Domain Name Service (DNS) Domain name service helps you to work with IP addresses by mapping them out to simple “human readable “ names. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router needs the correct values for certain LAN side client services (like web-browsing) to work properly. The DNS server IP addresses should be provided to you by your ISP. 1. Click on DNS Settings under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2. Enter DNS IP address your ISP gave to you. 3. Press Apply button.
5.2.7. Cloning a MAC Address Some ISPs audit connections using the MAC addresses. These systems only allow “registered” MAC address to connect to the Internet. To circumvent this obstacle, IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router provides a“ MAC Cloning” feature which allows the Network Administrator to modify the MAC address that is reported to the ISP. This feature facilitates the use of IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router in such environments. 1. Click on MAC Cloning under WAN1 Interface in the Networking tab. 2.
5.2.8. Dynamic DNS Configuration Conventional DNS information associates a static IP address with a human readable machine name, for use on the World Wide Web. When a DNS server receives a name lookup request, it compares it against a list of published IP-host name associations. Once a match is found, the server replies with either the IP address or host name.
5.2.9. LAN Interface Configuration In this section, you specify the IP address that the IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router will use. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router uses 192.168.1.1 as its default address, with a netmask of 255.255.255.0 (Class C netmask) . This IP is used as the default router for the LAN as well as the Web server address for the IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router configuration interface. IEEE 802.11g WLAN Router allows a single Internet account to be shared by several computers.
5.2.10. Virtual DMZ Configuration The virtual DMZ is used to enable protocols which need to open ports on the gateway. The Gateway will forward all unspecified incoming traffic to the host specified in this page. Therefore, since it is very close to one-to-one NAT mapping, most protocols can be supported. In general, Internet applications use only one unique port and can pass through a NAT Router by enabling Virtual Server.
