Network Notes
|
DHCP/ Option 82 |
Web-ster uses Option 82 of the DHCP protocol. Please release IP addresses before switching the network connection to a device with a different MAC address. Note: This is only required when switching the network connection without shutting the original device down properly, or when the device does not automatically release IP addresses on shutdown. |
|---|---|
| NetBIOS Ports | In order to protect our customers from virus attacks that come from outside the Web-ster network, Web-ster filters all NetBIOS ports (135-139 and 445) coming in from and going out to the Internet. |
|
Port 25/ SMTP |
In order to prevent computers infected with viruses from sending out unsolicited e-mails and furthering virus propagation, Web-ster filters port 25 going out to the Internet. |
Note: If you have a business that requires one of the ports listed above, please call Customer Service at 503-266-8111 and ask to speak to a representative about adding a static IP address to your account.
