Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway

The Port Range Forwarding Tab

The Port Range 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 Gateway will forward those requests to
the appropriate computer. Any computer whose port is being forwarded should have its DHCP client function
disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using
the DHCP function.
