Static NAT

This feature allows you to:

•Direct your Router to forward all externally initiated IP traffic (TCP and UDP protocols only) to a default host on the LAN.

•Enable it for certain situations:

–Where you cannot anticipate what port number or packet protocol an in-bound appli- cation might use. For example, some network games select arbitrary port numbers when a connection is opened.

–When you want all unsolicited traffic to go to a specific LAN host.

This feature allows you to direct unsolicited or non-specific traffic to a designated LAN sta- tion. With NAT “On” in the Router, these packets normally would be discarded.

For instance, this could be application traffic where you don’t know (in advance) the port or protocol that will be used. Some game applications fit this profile.

From the pull-down menu, select the address of the PC that you want to be your default NAT destination.

Click the Next button, and your choice will be so designated.
