Assign a game or application to a local networking device

If you assign a game or application to a local networking device, you will basically tell the Thomson Gateway
that if it receives requests for a specific game or application, it has to forward these messages to a specific
computer.

Proceed as follows to do so:

1

Browse to the

Thomson Gateway Web Interface

.

2

On the Toolbox menu, click Game & Application Sharing.

3

In the Pick a task list, click Assign a game or application to a local network device.

4

In the Game or application list, click the service you want to run on the computer. For example, HTTP
Server (World Wide Web)
.

5

In the Device, list select the computer to which you want to assign the service. Your computer will be
listed with it’s computer name.

6

All incoming request for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The Thomson
Gateway will also configure the Thomson Gateway firewall to allow this service.

If the service is not available in the list, click Create a new game or application in the Pick a task
list. For more information, click Help on the
