Enabling Port Forwarding
On a private network, port forwarding maps Internet traffic coming into a specific port to a
specific device on your LAN like a web server. Port forwarding is useful, for example, when
you host a game to which others want to connect. Instead of their being blocked
because of
the router's network address translation (NAT),
port forwarding allows their information to
come through.
To create port forwarding rules:
1. Click the
Advanced
icon and then the
Additional Settings
icon.
