Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows incoming traffic from the Internet to be forwarded to a particular computer
or device on your Wi-Fi network. Normally, the built-in firewall blocks incoming traffic from the
Internet. Use Port Forwarding to allow Internet users to access any server you are running on your
computer, such as a Web, FTP, or E-mail server. For some online games, Port Forwarding must be
used in order for the games to function correctly.
The Port Forwarding section of the Advanced Settings page contains the following sections:
•
Port Forwarding
— Click on the left side of the
ON/OFF
button to activate Port Forwarding.
•
Default Applications
— Lists standard applications that can be forwarded: DNS, FTP, HTTP,
POP3, SMTP, SNMP Telnet and TFTP. Use fields in the
Destination IP Address
column to
specify a device to forward traffic to. Use check boxes in the
On
column to enable or disable
forwarding for a particular application.
•
Custom Applications
— Allows you to define your own applications. Once defined, these
applications can be turned on or off in the same way as default applications.
•
Save Changes
— Use to activate and save new settings.
