To add a server using forwarding:
1Enter the range of port numbers and select the protocol used by the server.
2Enter the IP address of the server that you want the Internet users to be able to access. Refer to your software documentation for more information concerning which service port settings may need to be changed, if any.
3Configure as many entries as desired up to the number of boxes provided.
4Click Apply to save changes.
To delete a server entry:
1Delete the port range number.
2Delete the IP address.
