Review on D Link 10BaseT 100BaseTX Broadband Gateway by Gary Duncan

DI-704P does what it promises. Port forwarding works with AIM and MSN file transfers. You can play online games right out of the box without any setup and you can also host games as a server against games like Unreal Tournament 2003, Nascar 2002 and Medal of Honor without exposing yourself to the DMZ. corresponding port ranges. I run the Kerio firewall on all client machines and only allow game executables to access these forwarded port ranges. It gives me full hidden reports from grc, sygate and pcflank even when hosting games or transferring files. By default, port 113 (ident) is not cloaked. This can easily be fixed by forwarding this port to an unused IP address on your local network or to a computer with a firewall like Kerio that hides it. The latest firmware (version 2.70) is flexible, highly customizable and stable. The only thing I find odd about the 704P (silver case) is the seemingly unfortunate placement of the air vents on the case. The device becomes quite warm to the touch. He didn't complain, but I wonder why they didn't add more airflow through the case. In my experience, if I move the supplied rubber feet to one of the lateral ends and stand them up, significantly more air comes through the case. In short, it looks and works great and the price is right!
