them and can close the ports when they are no longer needed.
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging,
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also
enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) according to the instructions
in Universal Plug and Play on page 81.
To set up port triggering, you need to know which inbound
ports the application needs. Also,
you need to know the number of the outbound port that triggers the opening of the inbound
ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the
application or user groups or newsgroups.
To set up port triggering:
1. Select ADVANCED
> Advanced > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
2. Select the Port T
riggering radio button to display the port triggering information.
3. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box if it is selected.
Note: If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you con

port triggering, port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering
configuration information you added to the router is retained even though it is
not used.
