Manage Port Forwarding for Incoming Traffic Note You can enable and manage port forwarding only when the modem functions in Router mode (see Manage Router Mode and Bridge Mode on page 23). By default, the modem blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except for replies to your outbound traffic. To allow remote computers on the Internet to access a computer on your local network, you might need to create exceptions to this rule. Port forwarding is an advanced feature that affects the behavior of the firewall in the modem. By enabling port forwarding, you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services. Port forwarding is designed for FTP servers, HTTP web servers, and other server-based applications and services. After you set up port forwarding, requests from the Internet are forwarded to the specified server. Secure Your Network 38
