Appendix A Troubleshooting in one network cannot see the computers in the remote network from Windows Explorer. The WRV200 does not support NetBIOS Broadcast over a Gateway-to-Gateway IPSec VPN tunnel. To access the computers or shared drives on the remote network, users are advised to use the IP address to identify the resource. Frequently Asked Questions What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Router will support? The Router will support up to 253 IP addresses. Is IPSec Passthrough supported by the Router? Yes, you can enable or disable IPSec Passthrough on the VPN > VPN Passthrough screen. Where is the Router installed on the network? In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the cable/DSL modem and the LAN. Plug the Router into the cable/DSL modem's Ethernet port. Does the Router support IPX or AppleTalk? No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for communications. IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one node to another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections, but those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to the LAN. What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for? Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is never transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Router to be used with low cost Internet accounts, such as DSL or cable modems, when only one TCP/IP address is provided by the ISP. The user may have many private addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP. Does the Router support any operating system other than Windows 2000 or Windows XP? Yes, but Linksys does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or troubleshooting of any non-Windows operating systems. Wireless-G VPN Router with RangeBooster Does the Router support ICQ send file? Yes, with the following fix: click ICQ menu => preference => connections tab=>, and check I am behind a firewall or proxy. Then set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in the firewall setting. The Internet user can then send a file to a user behind the Router. I set up an Unreal Tournament Server, but others on the LAN cannot join. What do I need to do? If you have a dedicated Unreal Tournament server running, you need to create a static IP for each of the LAN computers and forward ports 7777, 7778, 7779, 7780, 7781, and 27900 to the IP address of the server. You can also use a port forwarding range of 7777 to 27900. If you want to use the UT Server Admin, forward another port (8080 usually works well but is used for remote admin; you may have to disable this), and then in the [UWeb.WebServer] section of the server.ini file, set the ListenPort to 8080 (to match the mapped port above) and ServerName to the IP assigned to the Router from your ISP. Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play simultaneously with just one public IP address? It depends on which network game or what kind of game server you are using. For example, Unreal Tournament supports multi-login with one public IP. How do I get Half-Life: Team Fortress to work with the Router? The default client port for Half-Life is 27005. The computers on your LAN need to have "+clientport 2700x" added to the HL shortcut command line; the x would be 6, 7, 8, and on up. This lets multiple computers connect to the same server. One problem: Version 1.0.1.6 won't let multiple computers with the same CD key connect at the same time, even if on the same LAN (not a problem with 1.0.1.3). As far as hosting games, the HL server does not need to be in the DMZ. Just forward port 27015 to the local IP address of the server computer. How can I block corrupted FTP downloads? If you are experiencing corrupted files when you download a file with your FTP client, try using another FTP program. The web page hangs; downloads are corrupt, or nothing but junk characters are being displayed on the screen. What do I need to do? Force your Ethernet adapter to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Auto-negotiate" feature of your Ethernet adapter as a temporary measure. (Please look at the Network Control Panel in your Ethernet adapter's Advanced Properties tab.) Make sure that your proxy 37

Appendix A
in one network cannot see the computers in the remote
network from Windows Explorer.
The WRV200 does not support NetBIOS Broadcast over
a Gateway-to-Gateway IPSec VPN tunnel. To access the
computers or shared drives on the remote network, users
are advised to use the IP address to identify the resource.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the
Router will support?
The Router will support up to 253 IP addresses.
Is IPSec Passthrough supported by the Router?
Yes, you can enable or disable IPSec Passthrough on the
VPN > VPN Passthrough
screen.

In a typical environment, the Router is installed between
the cable/DSL modem and the LAN. Plug the Router into
the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port.

No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet
and has become the global standard for communications.
IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to

a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh
networks, can be used for LAN to LAN connections, but
those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to the
LAN.
