• To select a predefined port triggering rule:
– Select the Pre-defined radio button.
– Select a type of application from the drop-down menu om the left.
– Select an application from the drop-down menu on the right.
• To define a rule:
– Select the User defined radio button. The screen adjusts to enable you to add rules
(see
Figure 3-5 on page 3-8 ).
Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server
processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may
periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any
active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the acceptable use policy
of your ISP.
