The Applications and Gaming Tab

The Single Port Range Forwarding Tab

Use the Single Port Range Forwarding screen when you want to open a specific port so users on the Internet can see the servers behind the Gateway (such servers may include FTP or e-mail servers). 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.
