Port Range Forwarding

from this tab, as shown

in Figure 5-16, sets 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 per-

form functions such as

videoconferencing or

online gaming. Some

Internet applications

may not require any

forwarding.) When

users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router will

forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Before using Forwarding, the

DHCP function on the PC whose port is being forwarded must be disabled and

have a new static IP address assigned because its IP address may change when

using the DHCP function.

If you need to forward all ports to one PC, see the “DMZ” section.

To add a server using Port Range Forwarding:

1. Enter the name of the application in the appropriate Customized

Applications field.

2. Next to the name of the application, enter the number or range of the

external port(s) used by the server or Internet application in the Ext. Port

column. Check with the Internet application software documentation for

more information.

Advanced Tab: Port Range Forwarding

Important: Port Range Forwarding is an Advanced

Function. No changes should be made to this tab without a

thorough understanding of networking concepts.
