Linksys BEFSR11 Router Configuration.
Hello,
Firmware 1.46.2 WinMe on a cable connection. One computer only. Seven years after the purchase of my first system (including this router - set-up by an acquaintance) I learn (via 'setup' in these forums and from a post by Mike M) of an error in configuration. This has left me with questions. Since I understand very very little about networking/routers and their settings I am wondering whether there are other errors in configuration. Under Filters. Filtered Private IP Range: (0 to 254) 1: 192.168.1. ~ 2: 192.168.1. ~ 3: 192.168.1. ~ 4: 192.168.1. ~ 5: 192.168.1. ~ Filtered Private Port Range: (0 to 65535) 1: TCPUDPBoth ~ 2: TCPUDPBoth ~ 3: TCPUDPBoth ~ 4: TCPUDPBoth ~ 5: TCPUDPBoth ~ Block WAN Request: Enable Multicast Pass Through: Enable IPSec Pass Through: Enable PPTP Pass Through: Enable Remote Management: Disable Port: 8080 Remote Upgrade: Disable MTU: Disable Size: 1500 Filter Internet NAT Redirection: Enable Filter IDENT(port 113): Disable Appreciate guidance on the above and, if deemed necessary, I will post with the configurations of other pages. Thank-you. Ben. |

Ben,
Out of curiosity what configuration error did I mention in a previous post that you picked up on? It's not as if I often post about networking and the like having as I do enough odd networking problems of my own although, admittedly not with Win Me nor with my router.

Linksys BEFSR11 Router Configuration.
Hello Mike,
May I quote your post? "I have no knowledge of how you connect to the internet but if using ADSL or cable the very first thing I would do would be to use a router even if only using a single PC. Enable NAT (Network Address Translation) on the router and this will provide a very effective firewall, so good in fact that this no longer becomes a major issue with the OS however if you want both belt and braces suitable firewalls commonly used that work reasonably well with Win Me are early versions of Kerio, formerly Tiny, (v2.1.5 works well with Win Me) and Zone Alarm (versions up to and including 6.1.744.001)" From the setup forum in answer to Tony1966. It is still the last post "Yea Thanks Microsoft" on the 03/07/2007 @1123AM Thanks, Mike. Ben. ..

Sorry Mike, These are long nights for an English cricket fan in B.C. Canada.
