75Frequently Asked Questions (continued)How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any PPPoE connection? Make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet or Enternet 300 from your computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet. Step 1 Upgrade Firmware if needed. (Please visit the D-Link tech support website at: http://support.dlink.com for the latest rmware upgrade information.) Step 2 Take a paperclip and perform a hard reset. With the unit on, use a paperclip and hold down the reset button on the back of the unit for 10 seconds. Release it and the router will recycle, the lights will blink, and then stabilize. Step 3 After the router stabilizes, open your browser and enter 192.168.0.1 into the address window and hit the Enter key. When the password dialog box appears, enter the username admin and leave the password blank. Click OK. If the password dialog box does not come up repeat Step 2. Note: Do not run Wizard. Step 4 Click on the WAN tab on left-hand side of the screen. Select PPPoE. Step 5 Select Dynamic PPPoE (unless your ISP supplied you with a static IP Address). Step 6 In the username eld enter ELN/username@earthlink.net and your password, where username is your own username. For SBC Global users, enter username@sbcglobal.net. For Ameritech users, enter username@ameritech.net. For BellSouth users, enter username@bellsouth.net. For Mindspring users, enter username@mindspring.com. For most other ISPs, enter username. Step 7 Maximum Idle Time should be set to zero. Set MTU to 1492, unless specied by your ISP, and set Autoreconnect to Enabled. Note: If you experience problems accessing certain websites and/or email issues, please set the MTU to a lower number such as 1472, 1452, etc. Contact your ISP for more information and the proper MTU setting for your connection.

How can I setup my router to work with Earthlink DSL or any PPPoE connection? (continued)Frequently Asked Questions (continued)Can I use my D-Link Broadband Router to share my Internet connection provided by AOL DSL Plus?In most cases yes. AOL DSL+ may use PPPoE for authentication bypassing the client software. If this is the case, then our routers will work with this service. Please contact AOL if you are not sure. To set up your router: Step 1 Log into the web-based conguration (192.168.0.1) and congure the WAN side to use PPPoE. Step 2 Enter your screen name followed by @aol.com for the user name. Enter your AOL password in the password box. Step 3 You will have to set the MTU to 1400. AOL DSL does not allow for anything higher than 1400. Step 4 Apply settings. Step 5 Recycle the power to the modem for 1 minute and then recycle power to the router. Allow 1 to 2 minutes to connect. If you connect to the Internet with a different internet service provider and want to use the AOL software, you can do that without conguring the router’s rewall settings. You need to congure the AOL software to connect using TCP/IP. Go to http://www.aol.com for more specic conguration information of their software.
77Frequently Asked Questions (continued)How do I open ports on my router?To allow trafc from the internet to enter your local network, you will need to open up ports or the router will block the request. Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP Address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default). Step 2 Click on Advanced on top and then click Virtual Server on the left side. Step 3 Check Enabled to activate entry. Step 4 Enter a name for your virtual server entry. Step 5 Next to Private IP, enter the IP Address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. Step 6 Choose Protocol Type - either TCP, UDP, or both. If you are not sure, select both. Step 7 Enter the port information next to Private Port and Public Port. The private and public ports are usually the same. The public port is the port seen from the WAN side, and the private port is the port being used by the application on the computer within your local network. Step 8 Enter the Schedule information. Step 9 Click Apply and then click Continue. Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled. If DMZ is enabled, it will disable all Virtual Server entries. Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specic port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to congure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the rst computer and then open port 81 to the other computer.
78Frequently Asked Questions (continued)What is DMZ?Demilitarized Zone: In computer networks, a DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a computer host or small network inserted as a neutral zone between a company´s private network and the outside public network. It prevents outside users from getting direct access to a server that has company data. (The term comes from the geographic buffer zone that was set up between North Korea and South Korea following the UN police action in the early 1950s.) A DMZ is an optional and more secure approach to a rewall and effectively acts as a proxy server as well. In a typical DMZ conguration for a small company, a separate computer (or host in network terms) receives requests from users within the private network for access to Web sites or other companies accessible on the public network. The DMZ host then initiates sessions for these requests on the public network. However, the DMZ host is not able to initiate a session back into the private network. It can only forward packets that have already been requested. Users of the public network outside the company can access only the DMZ host. The DMZ may typically also have the company´s Web pages so these could be served to the outside world. However, the DMZ provides access to no other company data. In the event that an outside user penetrated the DMZ hosts security, the Web pages might be corrupted but no other company information would be exposed. D-Link, a leading maker of routers, is one company that sells products designed for setting up a DMZHow do I congure the DMZ Host?The DMZ feature allows you to forward all incoming ports to one computer on the local network. The DMZ, or Demilitarized Zone, will allow the specied computer to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game does not work through the rewall. The computer that is congured for DMZ will be completely vulnerable on the Internet, so it is suggested that you try opening ports from the Virtual Server or Firewall settings before using DMZ. Step 1 Find the IP address of the computer you want to use as the DMZ host. To nd out how to locate the IP Address of the computer in Windows XP/2000/ME/9x or Macintosh operating systems please refer to Step 4 of the rst question in this section (Frequently Asked Questions).
79Frequently Asked Questions (continued)Step 2 Log into the web based conguration of the router by typing in the IP Address of the router (default:192.168.0.1) in your web browser. The username is admin (all lowercase) and the password is blank (nothing) How do I congure the DMZ Host? (continued)Step 3 Click the Advanced tab and then click on the DMZ button. Select Enable and type in the IP Address you found in step 1. Step 4 Click Apply and then Continue to save the changes. Note: When DMZ is enabled, Virtual Server settings will still be effective. Remember, you cannot forward the same port to multiple IP Addresses, so the Virtual Server settings will take priority over DMZ settings.
80Frequently Asked Questions (continued)How do I open a range of ports on my DI-524 using Firewall rules?Step 1 Access the router’s web conguration by entering the router’s IP Address in your web browser. The default IP Address is 192.168.0.1. Login using your password. The default username is “admin” and the password is blank. If you are having difculty accessing web management, please see the rst question in this section.Step 2 From the web management Home page, click the Advanced tab then click the Firewall button. Step 3 Click on Enabled and type in a name for the new rule. Step 4 Choose WAN as the Source and enter a range of IP Addresses out on the internet that you would like this rule applied to. If you would like this rule to allow all internet users to be able to access these ports, then put an Asterisk in the rst box and leave the second box empty. Step 5 Select LAN as the Destination and enter the IP Address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to. This will not work with a range of IP Addresses. Step 6 Enter the port or range of ports that are required to be open for the incoming service. Step 7 Click Apply and then click Continue. Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specic port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to congure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the rst computer and then open port 81 to the other computer. Note: Make sure DMZ host is disabled.
