Internet WAN Port’ check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your
Firewall to be discovered. Don't check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.
How to Support Internet Services, Applications, or Games

computer’s IP address constant.

1.
Click
Add
to bring up the Add Port menu.
2.
From the Services list, select the Internet service, application or game you want to host. If the
service, application or game does not appear in the Services list, define it using the Add
Service menu as described on
“How to Block or Allow Services“ on page 4-5
.
3.
Type the IP address of the computer in the Server IP Address box.
4.
Click

You may forward more than one type of service to a single computer or server.
