What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 



Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.0.1.




Click the Setup / Configuration link.


Click the Advanced Setup link near the left side of the page.




Click the Begin Advanced Setup button.


Click the Application Level Gateway link near the left side of the page.




Put a dot into the User radio button. Click the New button.


Enter the name of the program into the Rule Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea. Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Port Start, Port Map and the Port End boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Port Start, Port Map box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Port End box. Click the Apply button. When you are finished, click the Back button.


Use the LAN Device box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network. Select the applications you just created in the Available Rules list, then click the Add>> button to move them to the Applied Rule box.

When you're finished, click Save and Restart near the left side of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
