Forwarding

The Single Port Forwarding screen allows you to customize
port services for various applications .

When users send these types of requests to your network
via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to
the appropriate computers (also called servers) . Before using
forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the
designated computers (use the DHCP Reservation option on
the Basic Setup screen; refer to DHCP Reservation, page 14) .
