ports 7777, 7778, 7779, 7780, 7781, and 27900 to the IP address of the serv-

er. If you want to use the UT Server Admin, forward another port (8080
usually works well), then in the [UWeb.WebServer] section of the server.ini
file, set the ListenPort to 8080 (to match the mapped port above) and
ServerName to the IP assigned to the router from your ISP.

Can multiple gamers on the LAN get on one game server and play simultaneous-

ly with just one public IP address?

It depends on the which network game or

what kind of game server you are using. For example, Unreal Tournament
supports multi-login with one public IP.

How do I get

Half-Life: Team Fortress to Work with the Router?

The default

client port for Half-Life is 27005. The computers on your LAN need to
have "+clientport 2700x" to the HL shortcut command line; the x would be
6, 7, 8, and on up. This lets multiple computers connect to the same server.
One problem: version 1.0.1.6 won't let multiple computers with the same
CD key connect at the same time, even if on the same LAN (not a problem
with 1.0.1.3). As far as hosting games, the HL server does not need to be in
the DMZ. Just forward port 27015 to the local IP of the server computer.
There remains, however, a problem with people being booted after a few
minutes with an "illegible server message."

Web page hangs, corrupt downloads, or nothing but junk characters are being

displayed on the screen. What do I need to do?

Force your NIC to 10Mbps

or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Autonegotiate" feature of your NIC
as a temporary measure. (Please look at the Network Control Panel, in your
Ethernet Adapter's Advanced Properties tab.). Make sure that your proxy
setting is disabled in the browser. Check our website at www.linksys.com
for more information.

If all else fails in the installation, what can I do?

Reset the router by holding

down the reset button for at least three seconds and reset your cable or DSL
modem by powering the unit off and then on. Obtain and flash the latest
firmware release that is readily available on Linksys website,
www.linksys.com.

How will I be notified of new router firmware upgrades?

All Linksys firmware

upgrades are posted on the Linksys website at www.linksys.com, where
they can downloaded for free. The router's firmware can be upgraded with
TFTP programs.

Does the Cable/DSL Voice Router support IPsec?

Yes, but only pass through

IPsec is supported.

Will the router function in a Macintosh environment?

Yes, but the router's setup

pages are accessible only through Internet Explorer v4.0 or Netscape
Navigator v4.0 or higher for Macintosh.

With which type of firewall is the router equipped?

The Cable/DSL router uses

NAT and TCP/IP port inspections.

Does the Router do Stateful packet inspection?

I am not able to get the web configuration screen for the router. What can I do?

You may have to remove the proxy settings on your Internet browser, e.g.,
Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer. Or remove the dial-up settings on
your browser. Check with your browser documentation.

What is DMZ?

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one IP Address (computer)

to be exposed to the Internet. Some applications require multiple TCP/IP
ports to be open. It is recommended that you set your computer with a stat-
ic IP if you want to use DMZ.

If DMZ is used, does the exposed user share the public IP with the Router?

No.

Does the Router pass PPTP packets or actively route PPTP sessions?

The router

allows PPTP packets to pass through.

Is the Router cross-platform compatible?

Any platform that supports Ethernet

and TCP/IP is compatible with the router.

Will the Router allow me to use my own public IPs and Domain, or do I have to

use the IPs provided by the router?

The router mode allows for customiza-

tion of your public IPs and Domain.
