10. Fixed: when WAN access mode is PPPoE or PPTP, dial-in users can't get DNS IP.
11. Changed the password box length in dial-in and lan-to-lan same as autorollover.

Known Issues

1. If the VPN Wizard is used to configure a gateway to gateway tunnel, and then a client to gateway policy is manually added, the client to gateway policy will become the first policy and Internet will not be accessible (all the traffic goes into the client to gateway tunnel). Workaround is to use the VPN Wizard to set up both policies.

Using the New Features of Version 1.4_09

• NAT can be disabled (or enabled) under Setup, click Basic Settings. NOTE: Turning NAT off will reset all the configuration parameters back to the factory defaults.
• TZO or ngDDNS may be selected as a Dynamic DNS service provider under Advanced, click Dynamic DNS
• The new WAN settings page can be accessed under Advanced, click WAN Setup. WAN port speed may be set to AutoSense (default), 10BaseT Half-Duplex, 10BaseT Full-Duplex, 100BaseT Half-Duplex, or 100BaseT Full-Duplex. Other settings that have been moved to this page are Connect Automatically, as required (this is for PPPoE connections), Default DMZ server, Respond to Ping on Internet port, and MTU size.
• For Remote Access, now instead of typing http://:8080, now type https://:8080. Two security alerts will pop up with regard to the secure certificate-based SSL session, then log in as usual
• For the Remote Access Server function, under Serial Port, click Dial-in, then check Enable Dial-in. To add Dial-in Users, click add then enter user name, password, and select connection options.
