Private MAC Filter This feature filters the Ethernet adapter's specific MAC
address from going out to the Internet.
To check your Ethernet adapter's MAC address, run winipcfg or ipconfig in
the command prompt, depending on which Windows operating system you are
using. To set the MAC filter, click the Edit MAC Filter Setting button. When
a second window appears (see Figure 6-14), select the range in the drop-down
box, and at the MAC number prompt, enter the 12-digit MAC address you want
to filter. Click the Apply button and the Continue button, before closing the
window. For information on obtaining a MAC address, go to "Appendix D:
Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter."

Block WAN Requests By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can
prevent your network
users. The Block WAN Request feature also reinforces your network security
by hiding your network ports. Both functions of the Block WAN Request fea-

work. This feature is enabled by default.

Pass Through is enabled by default.
To disable IPSec Pass Through, click on Disable.
PPTP Pass Through Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is the method used to
enable VPN sessions. PPTP Pass Through is enabled by default.
To disable this feature, click on Disable next to PPTP Pass Through.

Through is enabled by default.
To disable this feature, click on Disable next to L2TP Pass Through.
Remote Management This feature allows you to manage the Router from a

enter the desired port number (default is 8080). Click the Apply button and
then the Continue button. Remote Management must be activated before you
can manage the Router from a remote location. If you wish to use this feature
on the browser, enter http:\\<WAN IP Address>:8080. (Enter your specific
Internet IP Address in place of <WAN IP Address>.) Remote Management
involves an inherent security risk and should not be enabled without first
changing the Password (from the Setup screen) from its default settings.
To disable this feature, click on Disable.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) This feature specifies the largest pack-
et size permitted for network transmission. Select Enable and enter the value
desired. You should leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. Most DSL
users should use the value 1492. For static and dynamic connections, the
default MTU value is set at 1500 when disabled. For PPPoE connections, the
default MTU value is set at 1492 when disabled.
