Port Forwarding
Selecting Port Forwarding in the “Advanced Settings” screen generates the “Port
Forwarding” screen. Port forwarding allows certain programs to bypass the
Modem’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.
