ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
Click the “NAT” menu on the left of the Web management interface. NAT is enabled
by default, and there is normally no need to change this.
3.2.1 Port Forwarding
With this function, you can tell the router to forward incoming connections bound to
a specific port or port range to an IP address on your local network. Many online
games, game consoles with Internet service, remote access applications and
special network devices such as network cameras require you to open and forward
ports, often referred to as port mapping.
With port forwarding, the external and internal ports are always the same. If you
need to redirect an incoming request on public port A to internal port B, you need
to use the Virtual Server function (see section 3.2.2 Virtual Server).
Enable Port Forwarding — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable.
Private IP — Enter the IP address of the computer on the local network that provides
Internet service.
Computer Name — With all the computers connected to the router listed in this
drop-down menu, you can select a name without checking its IP address.
