Wireless-G ADSL Gateway • Internet IP Address. The Router's current Internet IP Address is displayed here. Because it is dynamic, this will change. • Status. The status of the DDNS service connection is displayed here. When finished making your changes on this tab, click the Save Settings button to save these changes, or click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes. Advanced Routing Tab The Advanced Routing screen allows you to configure the dynamic routing and static routing settings. Advanced Routing • Operating Mode. NAT is a security feature that is enabled by default. It enables the Gateway to translate IP addresses of your local area network to a different IP address for the Internet. To disable NAT, click the Disabled radio button. • Dynamic Routing. With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Gateway to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network's layout. The Gateway, using the RIP protocol, determines the network packets' route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other Gateways on the network. To enable RIP, click Enabled. To disable RIP, click Disabled. • Transmit RIP Version. To transmit RIP messages, select the protocol you want: RIP1, RIP1-Compatible, or RIP2. If you don't want to transmit RIP messages, select None. • Receive RIP Version. To receive RIP messages, select the protocol you want: RIP1 or RIP2. If you don't want to receive RIP messages, select None. • Static Routing. If the Gateway is connected to more than one network, it may be necessary to set up a static route between them. A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. To create a static route, change the following settings: • Select set number. Select the number of the static route from the drop-down menu. The Gateway supports up to 20 static route entries. If you need to delete a route, after selecting the entry, click the Delete This Entry button. • Destination IP Address. The Destination IP Address is the address of the remote network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static Chapter 5: Configuring the Gateway The Setup Tab Figure 5-12: Advanced Routing 21
