online service types – web surf, HTTPs and file transfers.  
Select your preferred service, fill in the Source IP or MAC,  
Destination Port, Protocol, Transferred and Priority, then  
click Apply. The information will be configured in the QoS rules  
screen.  
NOTES:  
To fill in the source IP or MAC, you can:  
a) Enter a specific IP address, such as "192.168.122.1".  
b) Enter IP addresses within one subnet or within the same IP  
pool, such as “192.168.123.*, or “192.168.*.*”  
c) Enter all IP addresses as “*.*.*.*or leave the field blank.  
d) The format for the MAC address is six groups of two  
hexadecimal digits, separated by colons (:), in transmission  
order (e.g. 12:34:56:aa:bc:ef)  
For source or destination port range, you can either:  
a) Enter a specific port, such as “95.  
b) Enter ports within a range, such as “103:315, >100, or  
“<65535.  
The Transferred column contains information about the upstream  
and downstream traffic (outgoing and incoming network traffic) for  
one section. In this column, you can set the network traffic limit (in  
KB) for a specific service to generate specific priorities for the service  
assigned to a specific port. For example, if two network clients, PC  
1 and PC 2, are both accessing the Internet (set at port 80), but PC 1  
exceeds the network traffic limit due to some downloading tasks, PC  
1 will have a lower priority. If you do not want to set the traffic limit,  
leave it blank.  
29  
5. On the User-defined Priority page, you can prioritize the  
network applications or devices into five levels from the user-  
defined QoS rulesdropdown list. Based on priority level, you  
can use the following methods to send data packets:  
• Change the order of upstream network packets that are sent  
to the Internet.  
• Under Upload Bandwidth table, set Minimum Reserved  
Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth Limit for multiple  
network applications with different priority levels. The  
percentages indicate the upload bandwidth rates that are  
available for specified network applications.  
NOTES:  
Low-priority packets are disregarded to ensure the transmission of  
high-priority packets.  
Under Download Bandwidth table, set Maximum Bandwidth  
Limit for multiple network applications in corresponding order.  
The higher priority upstream packet will cause the higher priority  
downstream packet.  
If there are no packets being sent from high-priority applications, the  
full transmission rate of the Internet connection is available for low-  
priority packets.  
6. Set the highest priority packet. To ensure a smooth online  
gaming experience, you can set ACK, SYN, and ICMP as the  
highest priority packet.  
NOTE: Ensure to enable QoS first and set up the upload and download  
rate limits.  
30  
3.3.2 Monitoring Traffic  
The traffic monitor function allows you to access the bandwidth  
usage and speed of your Internet, wired, and wireless networks. It

2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click  
Apply.  
WAN Connection Type: Choose your Internet Service  
Provider type. The choices are Automatic IP, PPPoE, PPTP,  
L2TP or fixed IP. Consult your ISP if the router is unable  
to obtain a valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN  
connection type.  
50  
Enable WAN: Select Yes to allow the router Internet access.  
Select No to disable Internet access.  
Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system  
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet  
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.  
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a NAT  
table and is used to route incoming data packets.  
Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several  
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game  
consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-based  
network with or without a central control through a gateway.  
UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless  
network for remote configuration and data transfer. Using  
UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically.  
Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely  
configured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming,  
video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port  
forwarding, which involves manually configuring port  
settings, UPnP automatically configures the router to accept  
incoming connections and direct requests to a specific PC on  
the local network.  
Connect to DNS Server: Allows this router to get the DNS  
IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on  
the Internet that translates Internet names to numeric IP  
addresses.  
Authentication: This item may be specified by some ISPs.  
Check with your ISP and fill them in if required.  
Host Name: This field allows you to provide a host name for  
your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.  
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the  
host name here.  
51  
MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address is a  
unique identifier for your networking device. Some ISPs  
monitor the MAC address of networking devices that connect  
to their service and reject any unrecognized device that  
attempt to connect. To avoid connection issues due to an  
unregistered MAC address, you can:  
• Contact your ISP and update the MAC address associated  
with your ISP service.  
• Clone or change the MAC address of the ASUS wireless router  
to match the MAC address of the previous networking device  
recognized by the ISP.  
52  
4.3.2 Port Trigger  
Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port for a  
limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network  
makes an outgoing connection to a specified port. Port triggering  
is used in the following scenarios:  
More than one local client needs port forwarding for the  
same application at a different time.  
An application requires specific incoming ports that are  
different from the outgoing ports.  
To set up Port Trigger:  
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >  
Port Trigger tab.  
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click  
Apply.  
Enable Port Trigger: Choose Yes to enable Port Trigger.  
Well-Known Applications: Select popular games and web  
services to add to the Port Trigger List.  
Description: Enter a short name or description for the service.  
53  
Trigger Port: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming port.  
Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.  
Incoming Port: Specify an incoming port to receive inbound  
data from the Internet.  
Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.  
NOTES:  
When connecting to an IRC server, a client PC makes an outgoing  
connection using the trigger port range 66660-7000. The IRC server  
responds by verifying the username and creating a new connection  
to the client PC using an incoming port.  
If Port Trigger is disabled, the router drops the connection because  
it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for IRC access.  
When Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an incoming port to  
receive the inbound data. This incoming port closes once a specific  
time period has elapsed because the router is unsure when the  
application has been terminated.  
Port triggering only allows one client in the network to use a  
particular service and a specific incoming port at the same time.  
You cannot use the same application to trigger a port in more than  
one PC at the same time. The router will only forward the port back  
to the last computer to send the router a request/trigger.  
54  
4.3.3 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding  
Port forwarding is a method to direct network traffic from the  
Internet to a specific port or a specific range of ports to a device  
or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port  
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to  
access specific services provided by a PC in your network.  
NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks  
unsolicited inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows replies  
from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not  
have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.  
To set up Port Forwarding:  
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >  
Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.  
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click  
Apply.  
Enable Port Forwarding: Choose Yes to enable Port  
Forwarding.  
55  
Famous Server List: Determine which type of service you  
want to access.  
Famous Game List: This item lists ports required for popular  
online games to work correctly.  
FTP Server Port: Avoid assigning the port range 20:21 for  
your FTP server as this would conflict with the router’s native  
FTP server assignment.  
Service Name: Enter a service name.  
Port Range: If you want to specify a Port Range for clients  
on the same network, enter the Service Name, the Port  
Range (e.g. 10200:10300), the LAN IP address, and leave the  
Local Port empty. Port range accepts various formats such  
as Port Range (300:350), individual ports (566,789) or Mix  
(1015:1024,3021).  
NOTES:  
When your network’s firewall is disabled and you set 80 as the HTTP  
server’s port range for your WAN setup, then your http server/web  
server would be in conflict with the router’s web user interface.  
A network makes use of ports in order to exchange data, with each  
port assigned a port number and a specific task. For example, port 80  
is used for HTTP. A specific port can only be used by one application  
or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting to access data  
through the same port at the same time would fail. For example, you  
cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for two PCs at the same  
time.  
Local IP: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.  
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port forwarding  
work properly. Refer to section 4.2 LAN for information.  
56  
Local Port: Enter a specific port to receive forwarded packets.  
Leave this field blank if you want the incoming packets to be  
redirected to the specified port range.  
Protocol: Select the protocol. If you are unsure, select BOTH.  
To check if Port Forwarding has been configured successfully:  
Ensure that your server or application is set up and running.  
You will need a client outside your LAN but has Internet  
access (referred to as “Internet client”). This client should not  
be connected to the ASUS router.  
On the Internet client, use the router’s WAN IP to access the  
server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be  
able to access the files or applications.  
Differences between port trigger and port forwarding:  
Port triggering will work even without setting up a specific  
LAN IP address. Unlike port forwarding, which requires a  
static LAN IP address, port triggering allows dynamic port  
forwarding using the router. Predetermined port ranges are  
configured to accept incoming connections for a limited  
period of time. Port triggering allows multiple computers  
to run applications that would normally require manually  
forwarding the same ports to each PC on the network.  
Port triggering is more secure than port forwarding since the  
incoming ports are not open all the time. They are opened  
only when an application is making an outgoing connection  
through the trigger port.  
57  
4.3.4 DMZ  
Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this  
client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area  
Network.  
Inbound traffic from the Internet is usually discarded and routed  
to a specific client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has  
been configured on the network. In a DMZ configuration, one  
network client receives all inbound packets.  
Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming  
ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server.  
CAUTION: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes the  
network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the security  
risks involved in using DMZ.  
To set up DMZ:  
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >  
DMZ tab.  
2. Configure the setting below. When done, click Apply.  
IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP  
address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed  
on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP  
address.  
To remove DMZ:  
1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of  
Exposed Station text box.  
2. When done, click Apply.  
58  
4.3.5 DDNS  
Setting up DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows you to access the router  
from outside your network through the provided ASUS DDNS  
Service or another DDNS service.  
To set up DDNS:  
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >  
DDNS tab.  
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click  
Apply.  
Enable the DDNS Client: Enable DDNS to access the ASUS  
router via the DNS name rather than WAN IP address.  
Server and Host Name: Choose ASUS DDNS or other DDNS.  
If you want to use ASUS DDNS, fill in the Host Name in the  
format of xxx.asuscomm.com (xxx is your host name).  
If you want to use a different DDNS service, click FREE TRIAL  
and register online first. Fill in the User Name or E-mail  
Address and Password or DDNS Key fields.  
59  
Enable wildcard: Enable wildcard if your DDNS service  
requires one.  
NOTES:  
DDNS service will not work under these conditions:  
When the wireless router is using a private WAN IP address (192.168.  
x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x), as indicated by a yellow text.  
The router may be on a network that uses multiple NAT tables.  
4.3.6 NAT Passthrough  
NAT Passthrough allows a Virtual Private Network (VPN)  
connection to pass through the router to the network clients.  
PPTP Passthrough, L2TP Passthrough, IPsec Passthrough and RTSP  
Passthrough are enabled by default.  
To enable / disable the NAT Passthrough settings, go to the  
Advanced Settings > WAN > NAT Passthrough tab. When done,  
click Apply.

Troubleshooting  
This chapter provides solutions for issues you may encounter with  
your router. If you encounter problems that are not mentioned in  
this chapter, visit the ASUS support site at:  
http://support.asus.com/ for more product information and  
contact details of ASUS Technical Support.  
6.1 Basic Troubleshooting  
If you are having problems with your router, try these basic steps  
in this section before looking for further solutions.  
Upgrade Firmware to the latest version.  
1. Launch the Web GUI. Go to Advanced Settings >  
Administration > Firmware Upgrade tab. Click Check to  
verify if the latest firmware is available.  
2. If the latest firmware is available, visit the ASUS global  
RTN600/#download to download the latest firmware.  
3. From the Firmware Upgrade page, click Browse to locate the  
firmware file.  
4. Click Upload to upgrade the firmware.  
73  
Restart your network in the following sequence:  
1. Turn off the modem.  
2. Unplug the modem.  
3. Turn off the router and computers.  
4. Plug in the modem.  
5. Turn on the modem and then wait for 2 minutes.  
6. Turn on the router and then wait for 2 minutes.  
7. Turn on computers.  
Check if your Ethernet cables are plugged properly.  
• When the Ethernet cable connecting the router with the  
modem is plugged in properly, the WAN LED will be on.  
• When the Ethernet cable connecting your powered-  
on computer with the router is plugged in properly, the  
corresponding LAN LED will be on.  
Check if the wireless setting on your computer matches that  
of your computer.  
• When you connect your computer to the router wirelessly,  
ensure that the SSID (wireless network name), encryption  
method, and password are correct.  
Check if your network settings are correct.  
• Each client on the network should have a valid IP address. ASUS  
recommends that you use the wireless router’s DHCP server to  
assign IP addresses to computers on your network.  
74  
• Some cable modem service providers require you to use  
the MAC address of the computer initially registered on  
the account. You can view the MAC address in the web GUI,  
Network Map > Clients page, and hover the mouse pointer  
over your device in Client Status.  
75  
6.2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Please see The  
GNU General Public License for the exact terms and conditions  
of this license. We include a copy of the GPL with every CD  
shipped with our product. All future firmware updates will also be

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE  
Version 2, June 1991  
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA  
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of  
this license document, but changing it is not allowed.  
Preamble  
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your  
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General  
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share  
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all  
its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free  
Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose  
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation  
software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License  
instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.  
89  
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not  
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that  
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and  
charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or  
can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use  
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do  
these things.  
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid  
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the  
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for  
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.  
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether  
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that  
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get  
the source code. And you must show them these terms so they  
know their rights.  
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,  
and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to  
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.  
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make  
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for  
this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and  
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is  
not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will  
not reflect on the original authorsreputations.  
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software  
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free  
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making  
90  
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear  
that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not  
licensed at all.  
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and  
modification follow.  
Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modification  
0. This License applies to any program or other work which  
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may  
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  
The “Program, below, refers to any such program or work, and  
a “work based on the Programmeans either the Program or  
any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work  
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or  
with modifications and/or translated into another language.  
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the  
term “modification.) Each licensee is addressed as “you.  
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are  
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act  
of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from  
the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work  
based on the Program (independent of having been made by  
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what  
the Program does.  
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s  
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that  
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy  
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;  
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the  
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the  
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.  
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a  
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in  
exchange for a fee.  
91  
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any  
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and  
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the  
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of  
these conditions:  
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent  
notices stating that  
any change.  
you changed the files and the date of  
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that  
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program  
or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge  
to all third parties under the terms of this License.  
c) If the modified program normally reads commands  
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started  
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to  
print or display an announcement including an appropriate  
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or  
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may  
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling  
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if  
the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print  
such an announcement, your work based on the Program is  
not required to print an announcement.)  
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  
If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the  
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and  
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,  
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as  
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections  
as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the  
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,  
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire  
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who  
wrote it.  
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest  
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is  
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or  
collective works based on the Program.  
92  
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on  
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the  
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium  
does not bring the other work under the scope of this  
License.  
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on  
it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one  
of the following:  
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-  
readable source code, which must be distributed under the  
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily  
used for software interchange; or,  
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three  
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than  
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a  
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding  
source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections  
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software  
interchange; or,  
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to  
the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This  
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution  
and only if you received the program in object code  
or executable form with such an offer, in accord with  
Subsection b above.)  
The source code for a work means the preferred form of  
the work for making modifications to it. For an executable  
work, complete source code means all the source code for all  
modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition  
files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and  
installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,  
the source code distributed need not include anything that  
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with  
the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the  
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that  
component itself accompanies the executable.  
93  
If distribution of executable or object code is made by  
offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering  
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place  
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third  
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the  
object code.  
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the  
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any  
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute  
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your  
rights under this License. However, parties who have received  
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have  
their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full  
compliance.  
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have  
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to  
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These  
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any  
work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance  
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for  
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based  
on it.  
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based  
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license  
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the  
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not  
impose any further restrictions on the recipientsexercise of  
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing  
compliance by third parties to this License.  
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent  
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent  
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,  
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this  
94  
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this  
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously  
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent  
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute  
the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not  
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those  
who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the  
only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to  
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.  
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable  
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section  
is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to  
apply in other circumstances.  
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe  
any patents or other property right claims or to contest  
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose  
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution  
system, which is implemented by public license practices.  
Many people have made generous contributions to the wide  
range of software distributed through that system in reliance  
on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/  
donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software  
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that  
choice.  
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is  
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.  
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in  
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,  
the original copyright holder who places the Program under  
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution  
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is  
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In  
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written  
in the body of this License.  
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new  
95  
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such  
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but  
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.  
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the  
Program specifies a version number of this License which  
applies to it and “any later version, you have the option of  
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of  
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If  
the Program does not specify a version number of this License,  
you may choose any version ever published by the Free  
Software Foundation.  
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free  
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to  
the author to ask for permission.  
For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software  
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we  
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be  
guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all  
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing  
and reuse of software generally.  
96  
NO WARRANTY  
11 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,  
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT  
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE  
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER  
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS ISWITHOUT WARRANTY  
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,  
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF  
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF  
THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE  
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY  
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  
12 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR  
AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR  
ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE  
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR  
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL  
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE  
OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT  
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED  
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES  
OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER  
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS  
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
