Using the Forwarding Option

Forwarding tells the DDW365 to which computer on the local area network to send data.
If your host systems or applications have communications issues with the Internet, you
can use forwarding to resolve the following issues:
 Data is sent from a local host to the Internet, but the return path of expected data is
not received by your local host.
 An application or service running on your local network (on local host) cannot be
accessed from the Internet directly (for example, a request to a local audio server).
Examples are:
 Xbox/PlayStation
 Home Security Systems
 Audio Servers/VoIP

See the following topics:
 Before Setting Up Forwarding on page 45
 Setting Up Forwarding on page 46
 Setting Up Forwarding for an Xbox Example on page 48

Try the following options before you assign forwarding rules:
1. Enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). This may resolve the issue you have without
setting up forwarding rules.
a. Access the Web interface of the DDW365, see
Locally on page
b. Click Advanced from the main menu.
c. The Options screen is displayed. Check the Enable UPnP box.
.
d. Click Apply.
e. Test your local host or application such as your Xbox to see if it is functioning
properly. Continue with port forwarding if the host or application is not
communicating correctly.
2. Assign a Static IP lease to the client/host to which you are setting up forwarding. This
