Add a Custom Service

To define a service, game, or application that does not appear in the Service Name list, first

2. Select the Port Forwarding radio button as the service type.
3. Click the Add Custom Service button.
4. In the Service Name field, enter a descriptive name.
5. In the Service Type field, select the protocol. If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP.
6. In the External Starting Port field, enter the beginning port number.
• If the application uses a single port, enter the same port number in the External
Ending Port field.
• If the application uses a range of ports, enter the ending port number of the range in
the External Ending Port field.
7. 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 and Internal Ending Port fields.
8. Fill in the Internal IP address field, or select the radio button for an attached device listed in
