Configuring the f irewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:
•	 IP	Spoofing
•	 Land	 Attack	Ping	of	Death	 (PoD)
•	 Denial	 of	Service	 (DoS)
•	 IP	with	zero	 length
•	 Smurf	 Attack
•	 TCP	Null	Scan
•	 SYN	 flood
•	 UDP	 flooding
•	 Tear	Drop	Attack
•	 ICMP	 defect
•	 RIP	defect
•	 Fragment	 flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks  . These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker  . You can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled . Disabling the firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled  .

Configuring Internal f orwarding settings
The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other applications through your Router to your internal network  . Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen” . A list of common applications has been provided in case you need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application  . If your application is not listed, you will need to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need .
Choosing an application
Select your application from the drop-down list  . Click “Add” . The settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen  . Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application . To remove an application, select the number of the row that you want to remove then click “Clear” .
Manually entering settings into the Virtual s erver
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a comma between multiple ports), select the port type ( TCP or UDP), and click “Apply Changes”  . You can only pass one port per internal IP address . Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk  . You can enable and disable settings very quickly . It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application  .

blocking an ICMP Ping 
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims on the Internet  . By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be there  . The Router can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from the outside  . This heightens your Router’s security level . 
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click “Apply Changes”  . The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping  .
