Wireless-G Broadband Router

The Port Forwarding screen sets up public services on your network, such as
web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applica-
tions. (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 this type of request to your network via the Internet, the
Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Any PC whose port
is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and must have
a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when
using the DHCP function.
