Port Forwarding

Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Advanced Settings” screen generates the “Port Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs to bypass the Modem’s built-in firewall, allowing access to parts of the network (for hosting a Web or ftp server, for example). To use port forwarding, enter the IP port range in the “IP Port Range” text boxes. (If more than 10 ports are needed, Actiontec recommends using DMZ Hosting. See “DMZ Hosting” on the next page for more information.) Choose the protocol type from the “Protocol” list box, then enter the IP address of the computer on the network to be used as a host. Click Add. The forwarded ports appear in the “List of Forwarded Ports” text box.

To remove forwarded ports, highlight them, then click Remove.
