6.4 Port Forwarding
Activating "Port Forwarding" allows the network to be exposed to the Internet
in certain limited and controlled ways, enabling some applications to work from
the local network (game, voice, and chat applications, for example), as well

networked device, locate the device in the My Network column, then click Port
Forwarding. The "Port Forwarding" screen appears.
