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.

• Using Remote Upgrade
This feature allows you to upgrade the Router’s firmware from a remote
location. To enable Remote Upgrade, click on Enable, and then click the
Apply button. Remote Management must be activated before you can man-
age the Router from a remote location.
• Using MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
This feature specifies the largest packet size permitted for network trans-
mission. Select Enable and enter the value desired. It is recommended that
you leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. For most DSL users, it is
recommended to use the value 1492. By default, MTU is set at 1500 when
disabled.

Upgrading may cause the
Router to be reset to the factory
defaults. Make a record of all set-
tings before attempting the upgrade.
