4 About the Web Configuration
The first time you setup the Router. It is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer, to ensure that both the computer and the
Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection operates properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration, including IP settings and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various menus used to configure and monitor the Router, including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.
4.1 Preparation Before Login
Before accessing the Routerre the communication between PC and Router is normal. Check the communication as follows.
Configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.X (2~254), net mask as
255.255.255.0, gateway address as 192.168.1.1 (for customized version, configure them according to the actual version).
Enter arp -a in the DOS window to check whether the PC can read the MAC address of the Router.
Ping the MAINTENANCE IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) of the Router.
If the PC can read the MAC address of the Router and can ping through the
MAINTENANCE IP address of the Router, that means the communication of the PC and the Router is normal.

4.4.2 Port Forwarding
This function is used to open ports in your device and re-direct data through those ports to a single PC on your network (WAN-to-LAN traffic). It allows remote users to access services on your LAN, such as FTP for file transfers or
SMTP and POP3 for e-mail. The device accepts remote requests for these services at your global IP address. It uses the specified TCP or UDP protocol and port number, and redirects these requests to the server on your LAN with the LAN IP address you specify. Note that the specified private IP address must be within the available range of the subnet where the device is in.
Choose ADVANCED > Port Forwarding. The page shown in the following figure appears.

4.4.7 DNS
Domain name system (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to remember. The Internet, however, is actually based on IP addresses.
Each time you use a domain name, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might be translated to 198.105.232.4.
The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server does not know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.
Choose ADVANCED > DNS. The page shown in the folllowin g figure appears.
DNS SERVER CONFIGURATION
If you are using the device for DHCP service on the LAN or if you are using DNS servers on the ISP network, select Obtain DNS Info from a WAN interface.

Click Apply to save the settings.
DSL-2730U User Manual 53
4.4.8 Dynamic DNS
The device supports dynamic domain name service (DDNS). The dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, and allows access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS is difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the Internet even if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be set up with one of the supported DDNS service providers
(DyndDNS.org or dlinkddns.com).
Choose ADVANCED > Dynamic DNS. The page shown in the following page appears.
Click Add to add dynamic DNS. The page shown in the following figure appears.
