It needs no installation, and can be run from<br \/>\nthe &#8216;Startup&#8217; menu. It regularly connects to web servers (port 80), to verify that all is ok. After a configurable number of consecutive failures, it telnets into the Netgear router to drop and renew the dynamic IP. This should fix the problem.<br \/>\nAn optional feature is the sending of an automated email so you have a record of the occurence, and so you are notified<br \/>\nof the new IP address of the router. This is useful if you want to telnet into your system and have not signed up with<br \/>\nDynDNS, or if the service is down for some reason.<\/cite><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/members.bellatlantic.net\/~echeung\/automa\/gm.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Go here to get it!<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\">\n<p><cite><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;\"><b>11\/20\/00&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"><a name=\"newsite\"><\/a><b>Finding things on the new Netgear site.<\/b><\/span><\/cite><\/p>\n<p>The new Netgear support site that went up in mid November 2000 is database driven and not very easy to browse.&nbsp; Fortunately, you can at least browse the downloads list from&nbsp;<b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.netgear-support.com\/ts\/downloads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this page<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that you can also use the&nbsp;<cite><b>ZyXEL<\/b><\/cite>&nbsp;info and downloads with the Netgear products.&nbsp; Here&#8217;s a list of helpful ZyXEL suppport pages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zyxel.com\/html\/support\/download\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firmware and software download page<\/a><\/b><\/li>\n<li>\n<p align=\"left\"><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zyxel.com\/doc\/default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Support Note index<\/a><br \/>\n<\/b>(applications notes are available via a link from specific Support Note pages<b>)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p align=\"left\"><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zyxel.com\/html\/support\/knowbase\/uguide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">User guides<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr size=\"1\">\n<p><cite><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;\"><b>11\/20\/00&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"><a name=\"PPTP_server\"><\/a><b>Getting a PPTP server to work<\/b><\/span><\/cite><\/p>\n<p>Use this&nbsp;<b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zyxel.com\/doc\/p314\/app\/pptp.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ZyXEL article<\/a><\/b>&nbsp;to help you set this up.<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\">\n<p><cite><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;\"><b>3\/19\/01&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"><a name=\"filters\"><\/a><b>Help with Filters<\/b><\/span><\/cite><\/p>\n<p>Check the&nbsp;<b><a href=\"http:\/\/pages.infinit.net\/neo2048\/frame.htm\" target=\"_offsite\" rel=\"noopener\">Filters section on this site<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<hr size=\"1\">\n<p><cite><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial Narrow; font-size: medium;\"><b>12\/2\/00&nbsp;<\/b><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial; font-size: large;\"><a name=\"reset\"><\/a><b>Resetting to Factory Defaults<\/b><\/span><\/cite><\/p>\n<p>This involves uploading a file to the router.&nbsp; This file and instructions for use are usually included in the firmware update download file.&nbsp; To give you some idea of what&#8217;s involved,&nbsp;<b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zyxel.com\/doc\/p314\/rln\/romfile.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here&#8217;s the instructions for a ZyXEL P314<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><img alt='attentionsml-3734600' src='https:\/\/www.practicallynetworked.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/attentionsml-3734600.gif' width=\"30\" height=\"30\" border=\"0\"><b>Be sure to use the romfile for your current firmware!
