Applications and Gaming > Port Range

Forwarding

The  Port  Range  Forwarding screen allows you to set up

public services on your network, such as web servers,

FTP servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet

applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any

applications that use Internet access to perform functions

such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet

applications may not require any forwarding.)

When users send these types of requests to your network

via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to

the appropriate computers (also called servers). Before using

forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the

designated computers (use the DHCP Reservation option on

the Basic Setup screen; refer to DHCP Reservation, page 14).

If you need to forward all ports to one computer, click the

DMZ tab.

The Port  Range  Triggering screen allows the Router to

address of the computer that sends the matching data is

remembered by the Router, so that when the requested

data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back

to the proper computer by way of IP address and port

mapping rules.
