4.9. Port 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 static IP address assigned to it, otherwise its IP address may
change when using the DHCP function.
