The Single Port Forwarding screen allows you to customize
port services for common applications.
When users send these types of requests to your network via
the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the
appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,
you should assign static IP addresses to the designated
servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on the Basic Setup
screen; refer to DHCP Reservation, page 16).

applications that use Internet access to perform functions
such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet
applications may not require any forwarding.)
