Block WAN Request
• By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can prevent your network
from being pinged, or detected, by other Internet users. The Block WAN
Request feature also adds another measure of security to your network by
hiding your network ports. Both functions of the Block WAN Request feature
make it more difficult for outside users to work their way into your network.

Forwarding
For
Port forwarding sets up public services on your network. When users from the
Internet make certain requests of your network, the router will forward those
requests to the appropriate computer. The router's DHCP function must be
disabled to use Forwarding.
Forwarding is generally used to set up a web server, ftp server, or e-mail serv-
er on your network. To add a server using Forwarding:
1. Enter the port number or range used by the server. On the same line,
select TCP, UDP or Both. Enter the IP Address of the server that you
want the Internet users to be able to access.
2. Configure as many entries as you would like until all of the link entries
are filled.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
