Configuring Port Triggers
Because the SBG901 has pre-defined port triggers for games using any of the following
applications, no user action is required to enable them:
•
ALG for MSN
•
MSN Games by Zone.com
You may need to create custom port triggers to enable other games to operate properly.
To create custom port triggers, see the
Advanced Port Triggers Page .
Configuring a Gaming DMZ Host
CAUTION: The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the firewall. It is
open to communication or hacking from any computer on the Internet.
Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
Some games and game devices require:
•
The use of random ports.
•
The forwarding of unsolicited traffic.
For example, to connect a PlayStation ® 2 for PS2 ® online gaming, designate it as the
gaming DMZ host because the ports required vary from game to game. For these
games, Motorola recommends configuring the gaming computer or device as a gaming
DMZ device.
To configure a gaming DMZ device, on the Basic DHCP Page :
1. Reserve a private IP address for the computer or game device MAC address.
2. Designate the device as a DMZ device.
You can reserve IP addresses for multiple devices, but only one can be designated as
the gaming DMZ at once.
