Port
Forwarding
Port forwarding, also known as port mapping, allows you to direct TCP/UDP ports
to computers on your LAN. This allows access from the Internet to your LAN.
1. Connect to your DSL Router’s home page. See "Connecting to your DSL
Router’s Home Page" on page 4-2.
2. Click Configuration -> Advanced Settings -> Port Forwarding.
3. When the web page similar to Figure
5-5 appears, click the check box to
select it. Type the port number that
you want to forward in the Start Port
Number and End Port Number
(Optional) boxes.
4. Select the type of port that you want
to forward, for example, the TCP, UDP
option.
5. In the IP Address box, type the IP
Address of the local computer you
want to forward the port to, and then
click the Add button.
6. Click the OK button.
7. To forward more ports, repeat steps 3 to 5.
8. Wait for your DSL Router to restart.
Enabling port
forwarding will allow
access from the
Internet to your LAN
and may compromise
on your security.
