Set Up Port Forwarding
You can use Port Forwarding to set up a computer or other network device on your home
network (LAN) to be accessible to computers or other remote network devices on the
Internet. This allows you to open specific ports behind the firewall on your LAN to set up
dedicated connections between your computer and other remote computers for online
gaming or other online services. Some allowable services are predefined under the Commonly
Forwarded Ports.
