When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Gateway will forward those requests to the appropriate computer. Any computer whose port is being forwarded should have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.

Choose or enter the Application in the Application field. Then, enter the external and internal port numbers in the External Port and Internal Port fields. Select the type of protocol you wish to use for each application: TCP or UDP.
