4.6.2Port Forwarding

Using the Port Forwarding page you can provide local services (such as web hosting) for people on the Internet. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP-assigned addresses, but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic. If you were configuring a Netmeeting server, for example, you would want to assign this server a static IP address so that the IP address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. The port forwarding feature will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address.

To configure a service, game, or other application:

1.From the Home screen, click Advanced.

2.Under Advanced, select Port Forwarding.

3.Select the computer hosting the service and add the corresponding firewall rule.

4.If you want to add a custom application, select the User category, click on New, and fill in the port, protocols and description for your application.

For example, if you want to host a Netmeeting session, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Port Forwarding. First select the IP address for your Netmeeting server. Next select the Audio/Video category and add Netmeeting to the Applied Rules box. To view the management rules, highlight Netmeeting and select view. This will display the preconfigured protocols and ports that Netmeeting will use. Now you can run Netmeeting from your server and call users that are on the Internet. If they know your WAN IP address, users can call you.
