Wireless-G Broadband Router

1.Access the Router’s web interface by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the Router. Go to the Applications & Gaming => Port Range Forward tab.

2.Enter any name you want to use for the Application.

3.Enter the Start and End Port range of the service you are using. For example, if you want to host Unreal Tournament (UT), you would enter the range 7777 to 27900.

4.Select the protocol(s) you will be using, TCP and/or UDP.

5.Enter the IP address of the PC or network device that you want the port server to go to. For example, if the web server’s Ethernet adapter IP address is 192.168.0.100, you would enter 100 in the field provided. Check “Appendix E: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.

6.Check the Enable option for the port services you want to use. Consider the example below:

7.I can’t get the Internet game, server, or application to work.

If you are having difficulties getting any Internet game, server, or application to function properly, consider exposing one PC to the Internet using DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) hosting. This option is available when an application requires too many ports or when you are not sure which port services to use. Make sure you disable all the forwarding entries if you want to successfully use DMZ hosting, since forwarding has priority over DMZ hosting. (In other words, data that enters the Router will be checked first by the forwarding settings. If the port number that the data enters from does not have port forwarding, then the Router will send the data to whichever PC or network device you set for DMZ hosting.)

Follow these steps to set DMZ hosting:

1.Access the Router’s web-based utility by going to http://192.168.0.1 or the IP address of the Router. Go to the Applications & Gaming => Port Range Forward tab.

2.Disable or remove the entries you have entered for forwarding. Keep this information in case you want to use it at a later time.

3.Go to the Applications & Gaming => DMZ tab.

4.Select Enable next to DMZ. In the Client PC IP Address field, enter the IP address of the computer you want exposed to the Internet. This will bypass the NAT technology for that computer. Please refer to
