Kyocera KR2 User Manual page 18

Note: You might have trouble accessing a virtual server using its public identity (WAN-side IP-
address of the gateway or its dynamic DNS name) from a machine on the LAN. Your requests
may not be looped back or you may be redirected to the "Forbidden" page.
The requests from the LAN machine will not be looped back if Internet access is blocked at the
time of access. To work around this problem, access the LAN machine using its LAN-side
identity.
Requests may be redirected to the "Forbidden" page if web access for the LAN machine is
restricted by an Access Control Rule. Add the WAN-side identity (WAN-side IP-address of the
router or its dynamic DNS name) on the
problem.
GAMING
Multiple connections are required by some applications, such as internet games, video
conferencing, Internet telephony, and others. These applications have difficulties working through
NAT (Network Address Translation). This section is used to open multiple ports or a range of
ports in your router and redirect data through those ports to a single PC on your network. You can
enter ports in various formats:
Range (50-100)
Individual (80, 68, 888)
Mixed (1020-5000, 689)
Example:
Suppose you are hosting an online game server that is running on a PC with a private IP
Address of 192.168.0.50. This game requires that you open multiple ports (6159-6180,
99) on the router so Internet users can connect.
Add/Edit Gaming Rule
Use this section to add a Gaming Rule to the following list or to edit a rule already in the
list.
Enable
Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.
Name
Give the rule a name that is meaningful to you, for example Game Server. You can also
select from a list of popular games, and many of the remaining configuration values will
be filled in accordingly. However, you should check whether the port values have
changed since this list was created, and you must fill in the IP address field.
IP Address
Enter the local network IP address of the system hosting the server, for example
192.168.0.50. You can select a computer from the list of DHCP clients in the "Computer
Name" drop-down menu, or you can manually enter the IP address of the server
computer.
