Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Range Forwarding

Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router

The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Range Forwarding

The Port Forwarding screen sets up public services on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail
servers, or other specialized Internet applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any applications that use
Internet access to perform functions such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet applications
may not require any forwarding.)

When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to
the appropriate PC. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and must
have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.

Port Range Forwarding
