Using the Forwarding Option
Forwarding tells the DDW366 to which computer on the local area network to send data.
If your host systems or applications have communications issues with the Internet, you
can use forwarding to resolve the following issues:
Data is sent from a local host to the Internet, but the return path of expected data is
not received by your local host.
An application or service running on your local network (on local host) cannot be
accessed from the Internet directly (for example, a request to a local audio server).
Examples are:
Xbox/PlayStation
–

Home Security Systems
–
Security systems that use the Internet
Audio Servers/VoIP
–
Audio and VoIP applications and services
