Port Forwarding - Samsung SCH-LC11 User Manual

Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows incoming traffic (from the
Internet) to be forwarded to a particular PC or device
on your local WLAN. Normally, incoming traffic from
the Internet is blocked by the Firewall.
You need to use Port Forwarding to allow Internet
users to access any server your are running on
your PC, such as a Web server, FTP server, or
E-mail server. Also, for some online games, Port
Forwarding must be used in order for the game to
function correctly. Note that Port Forwarding creates
a security risk and should be disabled when not
required.
X To access the Port Forwarding screen, click
or touch the Port Forwarding option in the
Configuration panel.
NOTE: Some 3G Mobile Wireless Networks do not provide you with an
26
Internet IP address, but an IP address on their own network. In
this case, Port Forwarding can not be used because Internet
users cannot reach your IP address.
