Using the Configuration Menu
Port Fowarding
Advanced > Port Fowarding
Multiple connections are required by some applications, such as internet games, video
conferencing, Internet telephony, and others. These applications have difficulties working
through NAT (Network Address Translation). The Port Forwarding section is used to open
multiple ports or a range of ports in your router and redirect data through those ports to a
single PC on your network. This feature allows you to enter ports in various formats.
Name:
Give the Port Forwarding entry a name that is meaningful to
you, for example Game Server. You can also select from a list of
popular games, and many of the remaining configuration values
will be filled in accordingly. However, you should check whether
the port values have changed since this list was created, and
you must fill in the IP address field.
