Page 20

Which modems are compatible with the router? The router is compatible with

virtually any cable or DSL modem that supports Ethernet.

What are the advanced features of the router? The router's advanced features

include Filters, Forwarding, Dynamic Routing, Static Routing, and DMZ
host.

Does Linksys provide syslog support? No, Linksys does not currently provide

syslog support.

How can I check whether I have static DHCP IP Addresses? Consult your ISP to

confirm the information.

How do I get mIRC to work with the Router? Set port forwarding to 113 for the

computer on which you are using mIRC. If you are experiencing difficulty
after setting the port forwarding, try changing the Direct Client-to-Client
(DCC) settings to a range from 1024 to 1030 on the DCC option and
Forwarding page of the Web-based Setup Utility.

Why do I get interference on the line? Check to see if you have connected the

standard telephone cable from the back of the Router to the wall plate. (See
figure below.) The RJ-ll jack on the back of the Router is only made for a
standard analog telephone.

If your questions are not addressed here, refer to the contact information

Can I set-up my Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone to

make calls without setting it up and configuring it for my network? No, you
must set up and configure your Router on your network first.

Do these phone calls work behind NAT (Network Address Translation)? Yes

Why do my calls cost more when I use my calling card versus making calls with

my Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone? Because the
calling card calls actually do cost more because they are originating from
a regular POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) line. Your calls that are
made from the Router cost less because they are originating over the
Internet.

I already have a Net2Phone account number, can I use it in place the account

number printed on my calling card, which was packaged with my Router?
No. The Net2Phone account number that you are already using is for a
different type of service and your Router will not work with that account
number. You must use the account number that is pre printed on the back
of your calling card.

Why would I want to use the Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by

Net2Phone to make calls instead of using regular Net2Phone service? Because
this service lets you make calls over the Internet with the ease of just
picking up your phone. Also, these calls do not rely on using your com-
puter. In fact, if you used a cordless phone with device, you could make
Internet calls from any room in your house!

Can I use the Linksys Cable/DSL & Voice Router powered by Net2Phone to replace

my primary phone line? No. Any Net2Phone services provided through this
Equipment are not intended to replace or be a substitute for primary line
voice services or Plain Old Telephone Service ("POTS") and are not
