  • Page 26 HOME > DHCP DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DI-604 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.”...
  • Page 27 ADVANCED > VIRTUAL SERVER The DI-604 can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network. The DI-604 firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DI-604 are invisible to the outside world.
  • Page 28 Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are already pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service. Name: The name referencing the virtual service.

  • Page 33 ADVANCED > FILTER > URL BLOCKING URL Blocking is used to deny LAN computers from accessing specific web sites by its URL. A URL is a specially formatted text string that defines a location on the Internet. If any part of the URL contains the blocked word, the site will not be accessible and the web page will not display.
  • Page 34 ADVANCED > FILTER > DOMAIN BLOCKING Domain Blocking is used to allow or deny LAN computers from accessing specific domains on the Internet. Domain blocking will deny all requests to a specific domain such as http and ftp. It can also allow computers to access specific sites and deny all other sites.

  • Page 36 ADVANCED > DDNS Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service) is a method of keeping a domain name linked to a changing (dynamic) IP address. With most Cable and DSL connections, you are assigned a dynamic IP address and that address is used only for the duration of that specific connection. With the DI-604, you can setup your DDNS service and the DI-604 will automatically update your DDNS server every time it receives a different IP address.
  • Page 37 ADVANCED > DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the DI-604, then you can set the client up to unrestricted Internet access. It allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is useful for gaming purposes.
