Wireless Card Entry—if no wireless computers appear in the Available Wireless Cards list, you can manually enter the Device Name and MAC address of the authorized wireless computer.

Note: The MAC address is a twelve character key containing the characters 0-9, A-F only and separated by colons (for example., 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01) that can

usually be found on the bottom of the wireless device.

Configuring Port Triggering and Port Forwarding

Port Triggering is an advanced feature that can be used to easily enable gaming and other Internet applications. Port Forwarding is typically used to enable similar functionality, but it is static and has some limitations.

Note: If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in

Windows XP), you should also enable UPnP according to the instructions at “Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)” on page 8-22.

Port Triggering opens an incoming port temporarily and does not require the server on the Internet to track your IP address if it is changed by DHCP, for example.

Port Triggering monitors outbound traffic. When the router detects traffic on the specified outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and triggers the incoming port. Incoming traffic on the triggered port is then forwarded to the triggering computer.

Using the Port Triggering page, you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for example, FTP or HTTP), to play Internet games (like Quake III), or to use Internet applications (like CUseeMe).

Port forwarding is designed for FTP, Web Server or other server-based services. Once port forwarding is set up, requests from the Internet will be forwarded to the proper server. Port triggering will only allow requests from the Internet after a designated port is 'triggered'. Port triggering applies to chat and Internet games.
