Active Select this option to activate the Any-IP feature. This allows a computer to
access the Internet without changing the network settings (such as IP address
and subnet mask) of the computer, even when the IP addresses of the
computer and the Prestige are not in the same subnet.
When you disable the Any-IP feature, only computers with dynamic IP
addresses or static IP addresses in the same subnet as the Prestige’s LAN IP
address can connect to the Prestige or access the Internet through the
Prestige.
Windows Networking (NetBIOS over TCP/IP): NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP
or UDP broadcast packets that enable a computer to connect to and communicate with a LAN. For
some dial-up services such as PPPoE or PPTP, NetBIOS packets cause unwanted calls. However it
may sometimes be necessary to allow NetBIOS packets to pass through to the WAN in order to find a
computer on the WAN.
Allow between LAN
and WAN
Select this check box to forward NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the WAN
and from the WAN to the LAN. If your firewall is enabled with the default policy
set to block WAN to LAN traffic, you also need to enable the default WAN to
LAN firewall rule that forwards NetBIOS traffic.
Clear this check box to block all NetBIOS packets going from the LAN to the
WAN and from the WAN to the LAN.
