The ping test is used to send ping
packets to test if a computer is on the
Internet. Enter the IP address that you
wish to ping, and click Ping.
If you choose to block WAN ping, the
WAN IP address of the DWL-G730AP
will not respond to pings. Blocking the
ping may provide some extra
security from hackers.
The DWL-G730AP supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through
for both PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec
(IP Security). Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to
open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made through
the DWL-G730AP. This is useful when you have many VPN clients on the
LAN network.
Click Reboot to restart the
DWL-G730AP.
