7.13 Auto 2-Way Applications
Some special applications (e.g. MS messenger, MS game zone, etc…) always connect to an
outside server with a fixed destination port. Then the server would communicate with the
application in the LAN by using a predefined incoming port (or a specific range of incoming
ports). In this case, the router can provide a fully automatic mechanism to support such
applications.
Click the
Auto 2-Way Application
link and select
Enable
to allow the router to watch outgoing
data for specific port numbers. The IP address of the computer that sends the matching data is
remembered by the router, so that when the requested data returns through the router, the data
is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
