91DI-624M User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Frequently Asked Questions8 How do I open a range of ports on my DI-624M 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.
92DI-624M User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Frequently Asked QuestionsStep 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. Note: 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. 9 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:10 How do I use PC Anywhere with my DI-624M router?You will need to open 3 ports in the Virtual Server section of your D-Link router.

Scroll down and you should see Game Port. Enter the port number as you entered in the above steps. 16 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 firewall. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.To read more on this visit http://www.HomenetHelp.com.17 How do I set up my router to use iChat? -for Macintosh users-You must open ports on your router to allow incoming traffic while using iChat. iChat uses the following ports: 5060 (UDP) 5190 (TCP) File Sharing 16384-16403 (UDP) To video conference with other clients.

105DI-624M User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Frequently Asked Questions17 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 laterThe following information is from the online Macintosh AppleCare knowledge base:“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: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.Note: 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.
106DI-624M User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.Frequently Asked Questions18 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-624M) support NAT. With proper configuration, multiple users can access the Internet using a single account via the NAT device.For more information on RFC-1631: The IP Network Address Translator (NAT), visit http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1631.html.
107DI-624M User’s Manual D-Link Systems, Inc.AppendixAppendixSecuring Your Network 1. Change Admin PasswordChanging the password to access your new router is the first step in securing your network. This can done through the Wizard or on the Admin Page of the Tools tab. There is no password by default and hackers will know this when trying to access your network. Make sure that the password you choose is not commonly known or something that is easy to guess such as your last name or your pet’s name. Try using a combination of letters and numbers to deter intruders from hacking into your network. Your private information should be kept private.2. Disable DHCP and use Static IP addresses or Use Static DHCP and limit scope to the amount of users on your network.In the event that an intruder manages to gain access to your network, having DHCP enabled makes it easier for the intruder to access other computers on your network. There are two methods for getting around this. One is to disable DHCP and use static IP addressing on all the devices connected to your network. This would mean that the intruder would have to know what IP network your devices are on in order to access them. The second way is to change the scope of the DHCP server to only include enough IP addresses for the devices in your network. You can then use the Static DHCP feature of the router to assign an IP address to each device on your network. Static DHCP still dynamically assigns an IP address to your network devices but only allows for those defined devices to obtain an IP address.3. Change the default LAN IP addressChange the default LAN IP address from 192.168.0.1 to an alternate IP address. There are 3 ranges of IP addresses that have been reserved for use on Private Networks. 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16)D-Link routers use 192.168.0.1 as their default LAN IP address. Choosing an alternate IP address lessens the probabilty of an intruders knowing what IP network your devices are on. 4. Set up MAC FilteringEach networking device (router, network card, etc) on a network contains a unique hexadecimal number that identifies that specific product. This number is referred to as a MAC address. MAC filtering allows you to create a list of the MAC address of each device on your network and only allows these specific devices to associate with your network. With this feature enabled, devices attempting to connect to your network with a MAC address that is not in the list you created, will be denied access.
