Firewall Settings on D-Link Router on BTinternet

I am completely confused as to how to configure the firewall settings on my
DI-624 router. Confusion stems from BT not giving me a static IP address -
or is that not an issue?

I have a DSL-300+ modem and wireless network working great around the house.
All D-Link equipment.

Any guidance very welcome. Is there a guide around? The manual is too
general.

What is it you are trying to do exactly? I use the same kit with a Pipex
dynamic IP, and I have no probs at all. The only thing I needed to setup in
the firewall was to reject IDENT (ping) attempts, everything else was
already set up.

Replace the dots and remove nospam for valid email address

If its BT Broadband then you don't get a static IP address.

An ident request is not a ping.

I'm sure the people at D-Link could probably explain it quite well...
They have a freephone number at 0800 917 5063 and their website for
the UK is http://support.dlink.de
