Frequently Asked Questions
When entering the IP Address of the DI-524 (192.168.0.1), you are not connecting to
the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in
to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to
connect to the web-based utility.
To resolve difculties accessing a web utility, please follow the steps below.
Step1Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device.
If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different
port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be
on.
The following connections require a Crossover Cable:
Computer to Computer
Computer to Uplink Port
Computer to Access Point
Computer to Print Server
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-810
Computer/XBOX/PS2 to DWL-900AP+
Uplink Port to Uplink Port (hub/switch)
Normal Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
The following connections require a Straight-through Cable:
Computer to Residential Gateway/Router
Computer to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Access Point to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Print Server to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Uplink Port to Normal Port (hub/switch)
Rule of Thumb:
”If there is a link light, the cable is right.”

What type of cable should I be using? (continued)
What´s the difference between a crossover cable and a straight-through
cable?
The wiring in crossover and straight-through cables are different. The two
types of cable have different purposes
for different LAN congurations. EIA/TIA
568A/568B dene the wiring standards
and allow for two different wiring color
codes as illustrated in the following
diagram.
*The wires with colored backgrounds may
have white stripes and may be denoted
that way in diagrams found elsewhere.
How to tell straight-through cable from
a crossover cable:
The main way to tell the difference
between the two cable types is to
compare the wiring order on the ends
of the cable. If the wiring is the same on
both sides, it is straight-through cable. If one side has opposite wiring, it is a
crossover cable.
All you need to remember to properly congure the cables is the pinout order of
the two cable ends and the following rules:
A straight-through cable has identical ends
A crossover cable has different ends
It makes no functional difference which standard you follow for straight-through
cable ends, as long as both ends are the same. You can start a crossover cable
with either standard as long as the other end is the other standard. It makes no
functional difference which end is which. The order in which you pin the cable
is important. Using a pattern other than what is specied in the above diagram
could cause connection problems.
When to use a crossover cable and when to use a straight-through cable:
Computer to Computer – Crossover
Computer to an normal port on a Hub/Switch – Straight-through
Computer to an uplink port on a Hub/Switch - Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch uplink port – Crossover
Hub/Switch uplink port to another Hub/Switch normal port - Straight-through

Frequently 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.
78
Frequently 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 DMZ
How 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).
79
Frequently 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)
How do I use NetMeeting with my D-Link Router?
Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses DYNAMIC PORTS instead of
STATIC PORTS. That means that each NetMeeting connection is somewhat different
than the last. For instance, the HTTP web site application uses port 80. NetMeeting
can use any of over 60,000 different ports.
All broadband routers using (only) standard NAT and all internet sharing programs
like Microsoft ICS that use (only) standard NAT will NOT work with NetMeeting or
other h.323 software packages.
The solution is to put the router in DMZ.
Note: A few hardware manufacturers have taken it on themselves to actually provide
H.323 compatibility. This is not an easy task since the router must search each
incoming packet for signs that it might be a netmeeting packet. This is a whole lot
more work than a router normally does and may actually be a weak point in the
rewall. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.

How do I send or receive a le via iChat when the Mac OSX rewall is
active? -for Macintosh users- Mac OS X 10.2 and later
“iChat cannot send or receive a le when the Mac OS X rewall is active in its default
state. If you have opened the AIM port, you may be able to receive a le but not send
them.
In its default state, the Mac OS X rewall blocks le transfers using iChat or America
Online AIM software. If either the sender or receiver has turned on the Mac OS X re-
wall, the transfer may be blocked.
The simplest workaround is to temporarily turn off the rewall in the Sharing preference
pane on both computers. This is required for the sender. However, the receiver may
keep the rewall on if the AIM port is open. To open the AIM port:
If you do not want to turn off the rewall at the sending computer, a different le sharing
service may be used instead of iChat. The types of le sharing available in Mac OS X
are outlined in technical document 106461, “Mac OS X: File Sharing” in the AppleCare
Knowledge base online.
Note: If you use a le sharing service when the rewall is turned on, be sure to click
the Firewall tab and select the service you have chosen in the “Allow” list. If you do not
do this, the rewall will also block the le sharing service. “
The following information is from the online Macintosh AppleCare knowledge base:
Step1Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
Step2 Choose View > Sharing.
Step3 Click the Firewall tab.
Step4 Click New.
Step5 Choose AOL IM from the Port Name pop-up menu. The number
5190 should already be lled in for you.

What is NAT?
NAT stands for Network Address Translator. It is proposed and described in
RFC-1631 and is used for solving the IP Address depletion problem. Basically, each
NAT box has a table consisting of pairs of local IP Addresses and globally unique
addresses, by which the box can “translate” the local IP Addresses to global address
and vice versa. Simply put, it is a method of connecting multiple computers to the
Internet (or any other IP network) using one IP Address.
D-Link´s broadband routers (ie: DI-604) support NAT. With proper conguration,
multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device.
