9 LINKSYS & D-LINK PORT FORWARDING
9.1 TYPICAL LINKSYS PORT FORWARDING
This section will cover a few simple configurations for the Linksys router. This chapter is only to offer some help to the
installer and end user. Please understand we DO NOT support this product and will not give tech support on it. If you need
additional technical support on this router you must call Linksys.
To access the Web-based Utility, launch a web browser and type the Router's IP
address, typically 192.168.1.1, in the address bar. Then press Enter. A password
request page will appear. (Non-Windows XP users will see a similar screen.) Leave
the User Name field blank. The first time you access the router, use the default
password admin. Click the OK button to continue.
The first screen that appears displays the Setup tab. This allows you to change the
Router's general settings. Change these settings as described here and click the
Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your
changes.
Click on the "Applications & Gaming" tab.
Applications and Gaming allows you to set up public
services on your network, such as web servers, ftp
servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet
applications. (Some Internet applications may not
require any forwarding) To forward a port, enter the
information on each line for the criteria required.
Descriptions of each criterion are described here.
Application - In this field, enter the name you wish
to give the application.
Start/End - Enter the starting number of the range
under Start and the ending number under End.
Protocol - Enter the protocol used for this
application, either TCP or UDP, or Both.
