Port Forwarding

Because the Home Gateway is acting as a firewall for your network, some programs may
not be able to communicate over the Internet without some additional configuration.
This feature is useful if you want to host a webserver or ftp server on your private LAN.
You will need to open each port that your programs need and specify to a specific IP
(Computer). It is recommended that if you need to open more than 10 ports at once to
use DMZ hosting instead. For a listing of commonly used programs and their port
numbers refer to Appendix C or the Actiontec web site.
