interface, under Advanced, click on Port Forwarding to view the port forwarding menu, shown
below.
Figure 6-3: Port Forwarding Menu
Use the Port Forwarding menu to configure the router to forward incoming protocols to computers
on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a
Default DMZ Server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded. The DMZ Server is
configured in the WAN Setup menu as discussed in “Configuring the WAN Setup Options“ on
page 6-7.
Before starting, you'll need to determine which type of service, application or game you'll provide
and the IP address of the computer that will provide each service. Be sure the computer’s IP
address never changes. To configure port forwarding to a local server:
1. From the Service & Game box, select the service or game that you will host on your network.
If the service does not appear in the list, refer to the following section, “Adding a Custom
Service”.
2. Enter the IP address of the local server in the corresponding Server IP Address box.
3. Click the Add button.
Note: To assure that the same computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved
IP address feature of your wireless router. See “Using Address Reservation“ on page
6-12 for instructions on how to use reserved IP addresses.
