Setting a web proxy can save accessing time but may create a security issue by bypassing any URL filters or IP blocking you have configured. For example, if you configure the NB5580/W to block the access of 216.115.102.76 that is the IP address of www.yahoo.com, it will fail to block successfully if your browser is using a proxy because the router only sees the connection to the proxy and then the proxy connects to yahoo.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server can automatically assign IP Addresses and other information to each computer in your network. Unless you already have a DHCP Service on your LAN, it is highly recommended that you set your router to act as a DHCP server.

Chapter 5: Configuring IPSec/VPN Tunnels VPN/IPSec Introduction The VPN Router creates secure communications between sites without the expense of leased site-to-site lines. A VPN tunnel is a combination of authentication, encryption, tunneling and access control technologies used to transport traffic over the Internet or any insecure network.
IKE manages the process of refreshing keys; however, a user can control the key strength and the refresh frequency. Refreshing keys on a regular basis ensures data confidentiality between sender and receiver. Rev.1 - YML686 NB5580/W User Guide www.netcomm.com.au Page 59...

■ Check the status page of both the local router and the remote device and ensure the public IP addresses are the same as entered for the remote security gateway. If, for any reason, you experience a temporary disconnection, the connection will be re-established as long as the settings on both ends of the tunnel stay the same.

Remote Configuration via HTTP The HTTP server built into the NB5580/W is used to allow you to view and edit configuration pages via a web browser from anywhere on the Internet. You can set the NB5580/W to allow this information to be viewed or changed via the WAN (Internet).
Dynamic Routing (RIP) RIP is disabled by default, you should only enable RIP if you want your NB5580/W to accept routing information from other LAN routers or if you want it to share it's routing information with other router's. As always the less information a 'Hacker' can find out about your system the less chance the hacker has of finding an exploit for your system.
(e.g. ‘Road Warrior’ type VPN tunnels). However if the VPN router / Client at the remote end is on a fixed IP address it is strongly recommended that you specify the IP address here as this will prevent hackers on other IP addresses being able to create a VPN tunnel to your Router even if the know your Preshared Key and other private settings.

VPN client can not be used by a different client on a different tunnel. Access Control The NB5580/W has Access Control functions that allow you to restrict which Network Interface Cards (NICs) or IP addresses can use the Internet and or use other NetWork services.

To maintain a secure network it is important to adapt to changes in your network environment. The best way to do this is to view the logging in your router, particularly look for items in red text as these indicate data that has been blocked by the firewall or by your Access Control filters.
First, check whether the NetComm NB5580/W is properly installed, including the LAN and WAN connections, and all devices’ power. Check the NB5580/W and the computer are on the same network segment. If you are not sure, initiate the DHCP function (Section 4-2) and set your computer to obtain an IP address automatically (Appendix B).
Ping the Router’s IP address (Default: 192.168.1.1) to check for IP connectivity between your computer and the Router. Note: If you are not able to get to the web configuration screen for the NetComm NB5580/W, make sure that you disable the proxy setting within your Internet browser and set your browser to access the Internet via the LAN.
Appendix A: Frequently Asked Questions What is the maximum number of IP Addresses the NetComm NB5580/W can support? The NetComm NB5580/W can support up to 253 IP Addresses usually in the range of 192.168.1.2~192.168.1.254. Where should the NetComm NB5580/W be installed on the network? In a typical environment, the NetComm NB5580/W should be installed between the ADSL/Cable modem and your LAN.
The NetComm NB5580/W uses NAT to route all in/out band packets. All external users can only see the IP of the NetComm NB5580/W but cannot access LAN computers. The LAN computers are well protected with the NetComm NB5580/W’s natural firewall (NAT).
