DNS Mode<br />

The DNS Mode setting specifies how the DNS servers (that the DHCP clients are to communicate<br />

with) are obtained.<br />

1. Log in to the home page.<br />

2. Click Advanced settings ( ).<br />

3. Click Router > LAN.<br />

4. Set DNS Mode to one of the following:<br />

� Auto — The DNS server specified by <strong>Sprint</strong> is used. DNS Relay is enabled by default.<br />

� Manual — The routing hardware assigns DHCP clients the DNS servers specified in the<br />

Manual DNS Server #1 and #2 fields.�<br />

Use this option to access a DNS server that provides customized addressing or if you have<br />

a local DNS server on your network.�<br />

If DNS Relay is disabled, the routing hardware rejects DNS requests targeting the internal<br />

DNS proxy.<br />

For information on DNS Relay, see “LAN Panel” on page 101.<br />

Port Forward Panel<br />

Normally, incoming traffic (from the Internet) is blocked. However, port forwarding lets you forward<br />

incoming traffic to specific ports and devices (per their local IP address) on your network. For<br />

example, you can configure port forwarding so that:<br />

● You can access your Remote Desktop from the Internet (by specifying the WAN [public] IP<br />

address that the device is using).<br />

● Internet <strong>user</strong>s can access a Web, FTP, or email server, or gaming or Internet application hosted<br />

by your computer.<br />

Notes: Port forwarding creates a security risk. When not required, port forwarding should be disabled.<br />

Port forwarding does not apply to normal browsing, file downloading, running most online games or<br />

other applications hosted on the Internet. (Some online games require port forwarding.)<br />

Before you can use or configure port forwarding, you must enable it, as explained in “Enabling<br />

Port Forwarding” on page 106.<br />

From the Port Forward panel of the Router tab of the Advanced Settings window, you can:<br />

● Enable port forwarding for an application. (See “Enabling Port Forwarding for an Application”<br />

on page 106.)<br />

● Remove an application from the port forwarding list. (See “Disabling Port Forwarding for an<br />

Application” on page 106.)<br />
