Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Gateway will
support? The Gateway will support up to 253 IP addresses.
Is IPSec Pass-Through supported by the Gateway? Yes, it is a build-in
feature that the Gateway automatically enables.
Does the Gateway support IPX or AppleTalk? No. TCP/IP is the only
protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for
communications. IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route
messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications
protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN
connections, but those protocols cannot connect from WAN to LAN.
What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for? Network
Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN
to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of
security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never
transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Gateway to be used
with low cost Internet accounts, when only one TCP/IP address is provided by
the ISP. The user may have many private addresses behind this single
address provided by the ISP.
Does the Gateway support any operating system other than Windows 98,
Windows 2000, Windows NT, or Windows XP? Yes, but we does not, at this
time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or troubleshooting of
any non-Windows operating systems.
I set up an Unreal Tournament Server, but others on the LAN cannot join.
What do I need to do? If you have a dedicated Unreal Tournament server
running, you need to create a static IP for each of the LAN computers and
forward ports 7777, 7778, 7779, 7780, 7781, and 27900 to the IP address of
the server. You can also use a port forwarding range of 7777~27900. If you
want to use the UT Server Admin, forward another port (8080 usually works
well but is used for remote admin. You may have to disable this.), and then in
the [Uweb.WebServer] section of the server.ini file, set the ListenPort to 8080
