Vonage [quote="gagoots"Seeing as I will have the RT31p2 and no router, how will I tell
[quote="gagoots"Seeing as I will have the RT31p2 and no router, how will I tell the RT31p2 that I need specific ports open for p2p programs and such? Customer service didn't seem to think that port scans would knock out the adapter...thoughts?[/quote]
There are others here that are far more expert than I am at this, but this is what I would do with the setup and needs you describe.
First open the administration panel of the RT31P2 by using a browser to go to http://192.168.15.1. When asked, user admin as the username and admin also for the password.
Then select the Applications and Gaming tab. If you want to rely entirely on the protection of your McAfee firewall (and not on the firewall of the RT31P2), then just put your computer in the DMZ by clicking the DMZ tab. That will forward all ports to one PC. At that point, you will only be protected by your McAfee firewall.
That should do it. Just understand that your PC will be exposed by the ports that you open through your McAfee firewall.
If you want to open only a those ports needed by specific applications, use the Port Range Forwarding tab and only forward those ports needed for your specific applications. This is a little harder to set up but does not expose all your ports, so it provides a little more security. Of course, whatever ports you forward are open and do provide some risk.
If there are other security risks or considerations in this setup, perhaps others here will comment and offer advice. I don't claim to be an expert, so let's see what others say.
Good luck.
