The Applications & Gaming Tab > Port
Range Forward
Port range forwarding sets up public services on your
network, such as web servers, FTP servers, e-mail servers,
or other specialized Internet applications . (Specialized
Internet applications are any applications that use Internet
access to perform functions such as videoconferencing
or online gaming . Some Internet applications may not
require any forwarding .)
When users send these types of requests to your network
via the Internet, the HiPort will forward those requests
to the appropriate servers (computers) . Before using
forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the
designated servers (use the DHCP Reservation feature on
the Basic Setup screen) .
If you need to forward all ports to one PC, click the DMZ tab .
