Configuration Settings

LAN IP address of the internet server as its default gate-

way. In the internet server, you must add static routes into

the routing table to the other IP networks or IP subnets

that the router is routing between. Use the router’s LAN

IP address as the gateway for the static routes to the other

IP networks or IP subnets that the internet server does not

belong to. Doing this enables computers on the same IP

network as the internet server to communicate with the

computers on the other local IP networks or IP subnets.

If your router has its own connection to the internet

then you must create a new IP network or IP subnet. All

computers on the new IP network will use the internet

server to access the internet. Computers remaining on the

preexisting IP network will continue to use the router for

internet access. In this configuration, the internet server

can ease the burden for internet bandwidth on the router.

However, for computers on the new IP network to commu-

nicate with computers on the old one, you must create a

static route in the internet server’s routing table. When do-

ing this, the IP address of the static route will be the

preexisting IP address and the gateway will be the LAN

port of the router.

Note:

 If you are creating a second IP network, do not allow

the internet server to use DHCP if the router is also using

DHCP, unless the router is supplying IP addresses on only

one port and the internet server is not connected to that

port.

Filter NetBIOS over TCP/IP

As the name implies, this feature allows you to filter

NetBIOS traffic when it is transmitted over TCP/IP. This

can prevent NetBIOS  domain name queries, for example,

from initiating a dial-up connection.
