N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3

Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers

The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.

Use the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen to configure the modem router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded.

Before you start, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server computer needs to always have the same IP address.

To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP address feature of your product. For more information, see Set Up Address Reservation on page 56.

To forward specific incoming protocols:

1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.

2.Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.

3.From the Service Name menu, select the service or game that you plan to host on your network.

If the service does not display in the menu, see Manage Custom Services for Port Forwarding on page 112.

4.In the Server IP Address fields, type the IP address of your local computer that needs to receive the inbound traffic that is covered by this inbound firewall rule.

5.Click the Add button.

The service is added to the table on the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen.
