WAN Setup Help
Using this page, you can set up several parameters related to the WAN connection.
Default DMZ Server
You should not change these parameters unless you have a specific reason to do so and you are an experienced user. Specifying a Default DMZ Server allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to anyone on the Internet for services that you haven't defined. There are security issues with doing this, so only do this if you're willing to risk open access. If you do not assign a Default DMZ Server, the Router discards any incoming service requests which are undefined. This can be a security problem. You shouldn't check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.
To assign a computer or server to be a DMZ server:
- Click the Default DMZ Server checkbox
- Type the IP address for that server.
- Click Apply.
Respond To Ping On Internet Port
If you want the Sky Router to respond to a 'Ping' from the Internet, click this check box. This can be used as a diagnostic tool. This can be a security problem. You shouldn't check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.
MTU Size
The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you may need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.
