Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

Port Forwarding

Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the
“Port Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs to bypass the
Gateway’s built-in firewall, allowing access to parts of the network (for hosting a
Web or

FTP

server, for example). To use port forwarding, enter the

IP

port range in

the “

IP

Port Range” text boxes. (If more than

10

ports are needed, Actiontec recom-

mends using

DMZ

Hosting. See “

DMZ

Hosting,” below, for more information.)

Choose the protocol type from the “Protocol” list box, then enter the

IP

address of

the computer on the network to be used as a host. Click Add. The forwarded ports
appear in the “List of Forwarded Ports” text box.
To remove forwarded ports, highlight them, then click Remove.

Clicking Advanced brings up the “Advanced Port Forwarding” screen.
