Application

Enter the name of the application you wish

to configure.

External Port

This is the port number used by the server

or Internet application. Internet users must connect using

this port number. Check with the software documentation

of the Internet application for more information.

Internal Port

This is the port number used by the Router

when forwarding Internet traffic to the PC or server on

your LAN. Normally, this is the same as the External Port

number. If it is different, the Router performs a “Port

Translation”, so that the port number used by Internet

users is different from the port number used by the server

or Internet application.

7.

For example, you could configure your Web Server to

accept connections on both port 80 (standard) and port

8080. Then enable Port Forwarding, and set the External

Port to 80, and the Internal Port to 8080. Now, any traffic

from the Internet to your Web server will be using port

8080, even though the Internet users used the standard

port, 80. (Users on the local LAN can and should connect

to your Web Server using the standard port 80.)
