Port Forwarding

Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web hosting) for people on

the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet,

the Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP

assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static). For example, if you were

configuring a Netmeeting server, you would want to assign this server a static IP address so that the IP

address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to access an Internet application,

they must use the WAN IP address. The port forwarding will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP

address.

To configure a service, game, or other application select the external connection (for example the Internet

connection), from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Port Forwarding. Next

select the computer hosting the service and add the corresponding firewall rule. If you want to add a custom

application, select the User category, click New and fill in the port, protocols and description for your

application.

For example, if you want to host a Netmeeting session, from the Home screen, click Advanced and under

Advanced, select Port Forwarding. First select the IP address for your Netmeeting server. Next select the

Audio/Video category and add Netmeeting to the applied rules box. To view the management rules,

highlight Netmeeting and select view; this will display the pre configured protocols and ports that

Netmeeting will use. Now assuming that your WAN connection is correct, you can run Netmeeting from

your server and call users that are on the Internet. If you know your WAN IP address, users can call you.
