Under Windows 95 or 98: Click Start?Run, type in “winipcfg”, and select the network adapter (not PPP adapter). Under Windows ME, 2000 or XP: Click Start?Run, type in “command”, and press Enter. At the DOS prompt, type “ipconfig/all”. Look for Adapter “Physical Address”...
Configuration via Web Before you start setting up this IP Sharing via browser-based web configuration, make sure: Assuming the workstation’s TCP/IP is set to obtain IP automatically and the IP Sharing Device’s Local Port is set to “Distribute IP” (default), and all the cables are connected correctly, you are now ready to configure this device via Web Browser.
Global Port The opening screen contains settings for the Global (Internet connection) interface. Click on the down arrow ? to select the desired Internet connection mode on the list. Obtain configuration automatically (CATV dynamic mode): For users who are using Cable Modem Internet service.
Domain Name: For example: yourcompany.com. The maximum input for this field is 32 alphanumeric characters and it is case insensitive. Note: 1. Your ISP may ask you to input a certain domain name. 2. Domain name is also required for internal network’s email and news functions. IP Config: This field is grayed out for the IP address is obtained dynamically.
your MAC address. To modify the address, check Modify and enter the desired MAC address. Device/Computer Name: Enter a descriptive name for identification purpose. Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) requires this information and if that is the case, they will provide you with the name.
Figure 7 Adapter Address: This field is grayed out, because the Adapter Address is not supposed to be entered randomly. Do Not alter the content unless you are sure it is necessary to modify your MAC address. To modify the address, check Modify and enter the desired MAC address.

IP address decides the number of clients allowed for the assigned IP addresses. Note that all the PC on the same LAN should use the same subnet Mask. Users can also set Static DHCP in this page. Users are allowed to set 32 Static DHCP. Using this feature, the device will assign the same IP address to a computer (according to the network adapter’s MAC address) and this computer becomes the only one able to request that IP address.
The starting address of this local IP network address pool. The pool is a piece of continous IP address segment. Keep the default value 192.168.1.1 should work for most cases. Number of IP address: Maximum: 253. Default value 253 should work for most cases. Note: If “Continuous IP address poll starts”...

Block WAN Request: Blocks requests from Internet to the local network. If this item is checked, the function of management through Web configuration will be disabled. In other words, Internet requests and the HTTP management, namely ICMP, IDENT, and HTTP will be rejected. Management via Internet: Allows management of this device via HTTP from Internet.
Page 20
Management via Internet: this field will be automatically disabled when Block WAN Request is checked. If Block WAN Request is not enabled, you can choose to enable/disable this function. Below are coordinate results of Block WAN Request and HTTP management for this device. Refer to this table for further Internet/system management.
Figure 11 Modify the configuration port Enable : Check to modify web configuration port number settings. Web Configuration port: Input the port number for web configuration. The default web port for configuration is set to 80. If you want to set the port to other port, input that port number and click SAVE.

Figure 12 Add Server Method ?By Name ? By Port You can select to set up a virtual server either by name or by port number. Application (Port): Select and click to scroll down. Select from the most popular server applications for Virtual Server.
Server List: Display all the virtual servers. DELETE ALL: Click to delete all the servers on the list. DELETE: Click the Index drop-down menu to select the desired server number and then click DELETE to delete only the selected server. DMZ Host Function: If the DMZ Host Function is enabled, it means that you set up DMZ host at a particular computer to be exposed to the Internet so that some applications/software, especially Internet / online game can have two-way connections.

Port Number: The port number(s) for the filters. Port Type: TCP port: filter according to the Connection-Based Application Service on the remote server using the port number. UDP port: filter according to the Connectionless Application Service on the remote server using the port number. Figure 13 ADD: Each time you finished setting the filters, click the ADD button and the added filter will appear on the Filter List..
Static Router You can set static routes to manually administrate the network topology/traffic when the dynamic route is not effective enough. To set static routers, select “Static Route #1” or “Static Route #2”, enter the settings. You can refer to the following two example applications for settings. When finished, click “SAVE” to save settings.
Figure 17 Check E-Mail Check E-Mail: You may input your mail account on this IP Share and the device will check e- mails at the frequency that you previously set for the desired interval time. Select the LED number and enter the account name, password, the name of the incoming mail server (POP3;...
Dynamic DNS The Dynamic DNS (require Dynamic DNS Service) allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing your device to be more easily accessed by specific name. When this function is enabled, the IP address in Dynamic DNS Server will be automatically updated with the new IP address provided by ISP.
Network Status WAN IP Status Display the current Internet connection status. After the device is connected to the Internet Service, you will see IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS IP addresses on the table. Figure 20 RELEASE/DISCONNECT: Click on this button to disconnect from ISP and release all the IP information on the WAN port.
Port Fake: Featuring NAT, the Port Fake is used to translate the local network IP addresses for connecting to the Internet. IP Remote/Port Remote: The outside network IP address/port number of the other end of the session. Idle: The idle time of the session. If the idle time is too long (more than 15 minutes), the device will disconnect the idled session.

At the setup home page, select Detail Setup at the left panel. Click on Advanced Setup and the click on Management. Click to check the box for Change Administrator’s Password.
When Should I modify the MAC address for global port settings? Some ISPs identify their clients by the accessing MAC address and the host names, therefore, entering these information is the process required to prove they are who they claim to be. MAC address required for global port settings is the adapter address for the IP Sharing you are now configuring;...
Once Wildcard feature was enabled, your host can be reached by *.yourhost.dyndns.org. First , you need to register a dyanmic DNS account with www.dyndns.org. To use this service, you must register with the Dynamic DNS client. The Dynamic DNS Client service provider will give you a password or key.
Can not access the Internet Check the physical connectivity of local network. Check if both the LEDs of Local and Global on the product’s front panel are lit. If yes, go to next step. Otherwise, make sure you are using the correct cables and the cables are connected to the network devices properly.
Diagnosis TCP/IP Network Diagnosis Execute WINIPCFG.EXE or PING.EXE for TCP/IP network diagnosis. WINIPCFG The WINIPCFG program (for Win95, 98, and ME) is used to gather information about the TCP/IP connections that are active on your system. It cannot be used to dynamically adjust TCP/IP connections.
