the subsequent screens

Port Forwarding

Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Advanced Settings” 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

recommends using

DMZ

Hosting. See “

DMZ

Hosting” on the next page 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.
