The web server then sends this reply message to your modem router: •...
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 stores the original information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667, your modem router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined: The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your modem router. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information: •...
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Manage Custom Services for Port Forwarding Before you define a service, game, or application that does not display in the Service Name menu on the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen, first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses.
Page 107
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Specify the internal ports by one of these methods: • Leave the Use the same port range for Internal port check box selected. • Fill in the Internal Starting Port. Note: The Internal Ending Port field is masked out because the ending port number is calculated automatically by using the same range as the external port range.
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), NETGEAR recommends that you also enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). For more information, see Universal Plug and Play on page 116.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Manage Port Triggering By default, port triggering is enabled with a time-out period of 20 minutes. The time-out value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound ports close when the inactivity time expires. This is required because the modem router cannot detect when the application has terminated.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Manage Port Triggering Services To configure port triggering services, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs, and the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or news groups.
Page 111
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Note: If you are not sure which protocol to select, select TCP/UDP. In the Starting Port field, enter the starting port number for the inbound connection. In the Ending Port field, enter the ending port number for the inbound connection. If the inbound connection uses a single port number, enter that number in both fields.

UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network. If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance, NETGEAR recommends that you enable UPnP. ...
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 By default, this check box is selected. You can disable UPnP for automatic device configuration. If you clear the Turn UPnP On check box, the modem router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the modem router.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Your Internet service provider (ISP) can provide information about your IPv6 connection. • If your ISP did not provide details, you can select 6to4 Tunnel. • If you are not sure what type of IPv6 connection the modem router uses, select Auto Detect so that the modem router detects the IPv6 type that is in use.

Specify the IPv6 filtering mode by selecting one of the following radio buttons: • Secured. In the secured mode, which is the default mode, the modem router inspects both TCP and UDP packets.
Page 121
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 • Router’s IPv6 Address on LAN1. This field shows the IPv6 address that is acquired for the modem router’s LAN interface. The number after the slash (/) is the length of the prefix, which is also indicated by the underline (_) under the IPv6 address. If no address is acquired, the field displays Not Available.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 IPv6 6to4 Tunnel The remote relay router is the router to which your modem router creates the 6to4 tunnel. Make sure that the IPv4 Internet connection is working before you apply the 6to4 tunnel settings for the IPv6 connection.
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 Specify how the modem router assigns IPv6 addresses to the devices on your home network (the LAN) by selecting one of the following radio buttons: • Use DHCP Server. This method passes more information to LAN devices, but some IPv6 systems might not support the DHCv6 client function.
Page 124
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000v3 The screen adjusts: Configure the fixed IPv6 addresses for the WAN connection: • IPv6 Address/Prefix Length.
