Frequently Asked Questions
Is IPSec Passthrough supported by the Router?
Yes, enable or disable IPSec Passthrough on the Security => VPN Passthrough tab.
Where is the Router installed on the network?
In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the cable/DSL modem and the local area network (LAN).
Plug the Router into the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port.
Does the Router support IPX or AppleTalk?
No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for
communications. IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one node to
another, and AppleTalk, a communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN
to LAN connections, but those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to the LAN.
What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for?
Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one public address that
is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the private LAN is
never transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Router to be used with low cost Internet
accounts, such as DSL or cable modems, when only one TCP/IP address is provided by the ISP. The user may
have many private addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP.
Does the Router support any operating system other than Windows 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP?
Yes, but Linksys does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or troubleshooting of
any non-Windows operating systems.
Does the Router support ICQ send file?
Yes, with the following fix: click
ICQ menu
=>
preference
=>
connections
tab=>, and check
I am behind a
firewall or proxy
. Then set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in the firewall setting. The Internet user can then
send a file to a user behind the Router.
