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.
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.

how do i open a range of ports on my di-624+ using firewall rules?
step 1 access the router’s web configuration 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 difficulty accessing web management, please see the first 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 first 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.
make sure dmz host is disabled.
because our routers use nat (network address translation), you can only open a specific 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 configure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. now you can open port 80 to the first computer and then open port 81 to the other computer.

what are virtual servers?
a virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server ip. for example, if you have an ftp server (port 21) at 192.168.0.5, a web server (port 80) at 192.168.0.6, and a vpn server at 192.168.0.7, then you need to specify the following virtual server mapping table:

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.
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 firewall. d-link is not one of the manufacturers.

how do i send or receive a file via ichat when the mac osx firewall is active? -for macintosh users- mac os x 10.2 and later
“ichat cannot send or receive a file when the mac os x firewall is active in its default state. if you have opened the aim port, you may be able to receive a file but not send them.
in its default state, the mac os x firewall blocks file transfers using ichat or america online aim software. if either the sender or receiver has turned on the mac os x firewall, the transfer may be blocked.
the simplest workaround is to temporarily turn off the firewall in the sharing preference pane on both computers. this is required for the sender. however, the receiver may keep the firewall on if the aim port is open. to open the aim port:
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 filled in for you.
step 6 click ok.
if you do not want to turn off the firewall at the sending computer, a different file sharing service may be used instead of ichat. the types of file sharing available in mac os x are outlined in technical document 106461, "mac os x: file sharing" in the applecare knowledge base online.
if you use a file sharing service when the firewall 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 firewall will also block the file sharing service.”
what is nat?
frequently asked questions (continued)
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 configuration, multiple users can access the internet using a single account via the nat device.
