Forwarding

The Single Port Forwarding screen allows you to customize

port services for common applications on this screen.

the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the

appropriate servers (computers). Before using forwarding,

you should assign static IP addresses to the designated

servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on the Basic Setup

screen; refer to DHCP Reservation, page 7).
