The fields in the above window are described as follows:
??Protocol – [UDP] or [TCP]. This field designates the type of packets that will be acted on.
??Start Port – Some applications can only send data over a certain range of port numbers. Thus, all port numbers in the specified range must be exempt from the NAPT port translation process. This field defines the beginning range of the port numbers to be exempted from the NAPT port translation process.
??End Port – This field defines the last port number in the range of numbers excluded from the NAPT process (see Start Port above).
??Connection Type – [Outgoing Control] or [Incoming Data]. The user must initially run the special application and send a request to the application server on the Internet. This outgoing request to join a Diablo server, for example, is used to trigger the exemption process for the incoming data.
