Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
Port Forwarding
Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen
generates the “Port Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs
to bypass the Router’s built-in firewall, allowing access to parts of the network
(for hosting a Web or FTP server, for example). To use port forwarding, enter the
IP port range in the “IP Port Range” text boxes. (If more than 10 ports are needed,
Actiontec recommends using DMZ Hosting. See “DMZ Hosting,” below, for more
information.) Choose the protocol type from the “Protocol” list box, then enter the
IP address of the computer on the network to be used as a host. Click Add. The
forwarded ports appear in the “List of Forwarded Ports” text box.
To remove forwarded ports, highlight them, then click Remove.
Clicking Advanced brings up the “Advanced Port Forwarding” screen.
