Configuring Port Forwarding

For the services, applications, or games, that already exist in the pull-down list, you only need to specify the computer's IP address. Otherwise, the port number and computer's IP address for each service, game or application should be specified by clicking the Add Custom Service button.

Port Assignment

You can make up to 20 different port assignments for Internet services, applications or games. In the Service Name lists, you can select either a service, application or game. If you do not see an item that you want to use in any of the lists, check with the software or game developer for the correct port numbers to use.

For Internet Services

Before starting, you need to determine which type of services you will provide and the IP address of the computer that will provide those services. The most common services you would provide are a Web (HTTP) server or FTP server.

To set up a computer or server to be accessible to the Internet for an Internet service:

1.From the main menu, under the Advanced heading, select Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
