Description
• Normally, this option should be selected, so that an Internet connection is
made automatically, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this
causes high connection costs, you can clear this check box.
• If the check box is not selected, you must connect manually. To do this,
click the Connection Status button on the Status screen.
• If you have an "Always on" connection, this setting has no effect.
The firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service
(DoS) attacks. This check box should be cleared only in special
circumstances.
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when you use some online
games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT.
Note that this feature reduces the effectiveness of the firewall. For more
information, see "Setting Up a Default DMZ Server" on page
