Port Forwarding: Making Computers Accessible from the
Internet
With default settings in the FRITZ!Box, programs on your com-
puter and LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet. For a
number of applications like online games and file sharing
software, you have to make your computer accessible for oth-
er Internet users. In order to grant controlled access to your
computer to other Internet users, you release certain ports for
incoming connections. The ports serve to distinguish be-
tween running applications on a computer that has only one
IP address.
Setting Up Port Forwarding in the FRITZ!Box
•
Port Forwarding is set up in the “Internet / Permit Ac-
cess”menu.
•
Port Forwarding for IPv6 is also set up in the “Internet /
Permit Access” menu, on the “IPv6” page. To see this
page, make sure you enabled the expert mode in the
“System / Expert Mode” menu.
Address for Accessing the FRITZ!Box
If you have enabled the ports for forwarding in the FRITZ!Box,
other users can access your computer at the IP address as-
signed to your FRITZ!Box by the Internet Service Provider. This
is a public IP address.
Here is how to determine the public IP address of the
FRITZ!Box:
1.
Open the FRITZ!Box user interface (see
).
2.
Enable the expert settings in the “System / Expert
Mode” menu.
