Yea Thanks Microsoft
With a DG834GT and WPA-PSK you are reasonably ready to go. I was using an
DG834G until a year or so ago when I moved to ADSL2+ (the Netgear range aren't particularly compatible with my ISP's ADSL2+ line cards) The router password shouldn't be that important as it should only be usable from LAN side (that is not from the internet) although if you had no wireless security then LAN side would be as open as WAN side )that is the internet side). Incidentally I found that for some unknown reason by default my DG834G had four open ports, found using a scanner, but this was easily remedied by adding a rule to block those ports. -- Mike Maltby Tony1966 wrote: Thanks for the comments and feedback on set up - I used Kerio in the dim and distant past as well as a few free virus + ad/spyware apps so I guess I have a busy day tomorrow I've a Netgear DG834GT Router - with desktop ME via Ethernet and new wireless Vista laptop. I've already changed router password and WPA-PSK network code - anyone could've guessed the original. The router has a built in firewall configured to factory settings so that's another thing for me to read re optimal configuration but there's another forum I'm part of that will sort out that and the NAT question. |
