Port Forwarding
Using the Port Forwarding page, you can provide local services (for example web
hosting) for people on the Internet or play Internet games. When users send this type
of request to your network via the Internet, the router will forward those requests to
the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but
remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static). For example, if you were
configuring a NetMeeting server, you would want to assign this server a static IP
address so that the IP address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet
user is trying to access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. The
port forwarding will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address.
To configure a service, game, or other application select the external connection (for
example the Internet connection), from the Home screen, click Advanced and under
Advanced, select Port Forwarding. Next select the computer hosting the service and
add the corresponding firewall rule. If you want to add a custom application, select the
User category, click New and fill in the port, protocols and description for your
application.
IP Filters
This firewall feature allows you to block network access based on a user's computer IP
address. You can use this page to block specific traffic (for example block web access)
or any traffic from a computer on your local network. To configure an IP Filter rule
select the computers' IP address and add the corresponding firewall traffic definition
from the Firewall Policy Database. If the traffic type is set to "Any", all network traffic
from that computer will be blocked.
