Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server
If your home network includes a server, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic
to reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server,
or game server visible and available to the Internet.
The cable modem router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to
computers on your local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you
can also specify a default DMZ server to which the cable modem router forwards all
other incoming protocols.
To forward specific incoming protocols:
1. Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2. Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the
service.
The server computer must always use the same IP address. To specify this setting,
use the reserved IP address feature. See Manage LAN IP Addresses on page 60.
3. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
cable modem router network.
4. Enter
http://routerlogin.net
or
http://192.168.0.1
.
A login window opens.
5. Enter the modem router admin user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
6. Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering
.
The Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page displays.
7. Leave the
Port Forwarding
radio button selected as the service type.
8. In the
Service Name
menu, select the service name.
If the service that you want to add is not in the menu, create a custom service. See
Add a Custom Port Forwarding Service on page 92.
9. In the
Server IP Address
field, enter the IP address of the computer that will provide
the service.
10. Click the
Add
button.
