Port Forwarding
Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the
“Port Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs to bypass the
Router’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 rec-
ommends 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. For a list of programs that use
port forwarding, as well as port numbers used, see “Appendix C - Program and
Port List.”
To remove forwarded ports, highlight them, then click Remove.
