Chapter 5 Configuring the Wireless-G Router The Port Forwarding screen sets up public services on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any applications that use Internet access to perform functions such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet applications may not require any forwarding.) When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and must have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function. Application Name Enter the name you wish to give the application. Each name can be up to 12 characters. Port Range Start/End This is the port range. Enter the number that starts the port range under Start and the number that ends the range under End. Protocol Enter the protocol used for this application, either TCP or UDP, or Both. IP Address For each application, enter the IP Address of the PC running the specific application. Enabled Click the Enabled checkbox to enable port forwarding for the relevant application. When you have finished making changes to the screen, click Save Settings to save the changes, or click Cancel Changes to undo your changes. For help information, click More. Firewall > Port Triggering Application In this field, enter the name you wish to give the application. Each name can be up to 12 characters. Triggered Range Start Port/End Port Enter the number that starts the triggered port range under Start Port and the number that ends the range under End Port. Forwarded Range Start Port/End Port Enter the number that starts the forwarded port range under Start Port and the number that ends the range under End Port. Protocol Enter the protocol used for this application, either TCP or UDP, or Both. Enabled Click the Enabled checkbox to enable port triggering for the relevant application. When you have finished making changes to the screen, click Save Settings to save the changes, or click Cancel Changes to undo your changes. For help information, click More. Firewall > DMZ The DMZ screen allows one local PC to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing through Software DMZ. Whereas Port Range Forwarding can only forward a maximum of 10 ranges of ports, DMZ hosting forwards all the ports for one PC at the same time. Firewall > Port Triggering Port Triggering is used for special Internet applications whose outgoing ports differ from the incoming ports. For this feature, the Router will watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Router will remember the IP address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
