Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach
servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP
server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.
Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen to configure the router to forward specific
incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific
applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols
are forwarded.
Before starting, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
Find out the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service.
The server
computer has to always have the same IP address.
Tip: T
o ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address,
use the reserved IP address feature of your JWNR2000v3 router.
