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
device you are now configuring; theoretically it should be the one you already registered
in your ISP, and there is no need for modifying it. However, there is scenario that the
device you are now using is not the one with the MAC address that you registered in
your ISP. Under this condition, modifying the MAC address is then necessary

What is DMZ?

DMZ (demilitarized zone), a barrier between the Internet and a company's Intranet. It is
a subnet that contains a firewall and proxy server, which can be in separate servers or in
one server. The firewall connects to an external firewall on the Internet side, which may
be at the ISP's location and is often called a "boundary router." The double firewall
architecture adds an extra measure of security for the Intranet.

What is Dynamic DNS?

The Dynamic DNS service, an IP Registry provides a public central database where
information such as email addresses, hostnames, IPs etc. can be stored and retrieved.
This solves the problems if your DNS server uses an IP associated with dynamic IP. The
Dynamic DNS service acts like old-style phone operators: other users call the operator,
and ask to speak to you, and the operator, who knows your extension, will make the
connection. Every time your computer comes online, it will inform the Dynamic DNS
server what the current IP address is. Users who need to connect to your server, through
the magic of DNS service, will be sent to the right place. Please visit
HTTP://WWW.DYNDNS.ORG for more information.

Why "Dynamic DNS?"

With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP
address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the
Internet. You must register with a Dynamic DNS Client to use this service. Please go to
HTTP://WWW.DYNDNS.ORG for more information.

What is Wildcard ?

A wildcard alias is a method which is used to give your hostname multiple identities. If
you were to register yourhost.com, everything (*).yourhost.com would be aliased to
yourhost.com. This includes host names such as www.yourhost.com or
ftp.yourhost.com.
