Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server
If your home network includes a server, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to
reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or
game server visible and available to the Internet.
The modem router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your
local network. You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default
DMZ server to which the modem router forwards all other incoming protocols.
To forward specific incoming protocols:
1.
Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2.
Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will provide the service.
The server computer must always use the same IP address. To specify this setting, use
the reserved IP address feature. See
3.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the modem
router network.
4.
Enter http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.
A login window opens.
5.
Enter the user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
6.
Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
7.
Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.
8.
In the Service Name menu, select the service name.
If the service that you want to add is not in the menu, create a custom service. See
