3 Make the following entries:
Setting Values
Internal IP
Address
Enter the IP address that you specified on
the Create New DHCP Fixed Host
Server page.
Protocol If you know your protocol (udp or tcp)
and port number(s) from your game
instructions, select the protocol from the
list.
If you do not know your protocol or port
number(s), you need to set up your
computer as a DMZ by selecting DMZ
from the Protocol list. This will open up all
ports on the computer to all
communication over the Internet.
Warning
: Setting up a DMZ removes the
protection provided by the ADSL
Ethernet’s firewall. We therefore
recommend that a DMZ be used only when
necessary.
Start Port
If you designated your computer as a
DMZ, you do not have to enter anything
here.
If you are playing another peer-to-peer
or multi-player game, your game
instructions should tell you what ports to
enter here. To enter a number, you must
enter tcp or udp in the Protocol box.
If you only need to open one port, enter the
same port number for both Start Port and
End Port. If you need to open a range of
ports, enter the starting port number of the
range here.
The highest supported port number is
65535.
