Each logical connection described later in this chapter will include the "route" need-
ed to be taken through the Connection Wizard in order for the connection to be
created.
9.4.2 Network Types
Every network connection in Watson can be configured as one of three types:
WAN, LAN or DMZ. This provides high flexibility and increased functionality. For
example, a network connection can be defined as a DMZ (Demilitarized) network.
Although the network is physically inside Watson, it will function as an unsecured,
independent network, for which Watson merely acts as a router. One of these three
network types is defined in each connection's configuration screen, in the 'Network'
combo-box, as depicted in the following sections.
9.4.2.1 DMZ Network
When defining a network connection as a DMZ network, you must also:
 Remove the connection from under a bridge, if that is the case.
 Change the connection's routing mode to "Route", in the 'Routing' section of
the configuration screen.
9.4.3 WAN Ethernet
The WAN Ethernet connection can connect Watson DSL modem to another net-
work The Connection Wizard provides two methods to quickly configure this con-
nection, described later in this chapter:
 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (refer to Section 9.4.7).
 Manual IP Address Configuration (refer to Section 9.4.8).
