Chapter 5: Configuring the ADSL Gateway
The Applications & Gaming Tab
ADSL Gateway
The Port Range Forwarding Tab
The 
Port Range Forwarding
screen sets up public services on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-
mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any applications 
that use Internet access to perform functions such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet 
applications may not require any forwarding.)
When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Gateway will forward those requests to 
the appropriate computer. Any computer whose port is being forwarded should have its DHCP client function 
disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using 
the DHCP function.
•
Application. Enter the name of the application in the field provided. 
•
Start and End. Enter the starting and ending numbers of the port range you wish to forward. 
•
Protocol. Select the protocol you wish to use for each application: 
TCP
, 
UDP
, or 
Both
. 
•
IP Address. Enter the IP Address of the appropriate computer.
•
Enable. Click the 
Enable
checkbox to enable forwarding for the chosen application.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the 
Save Settings
button to save these changes, or click 
the 
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes. 
IMPORTANT:
Enabling remote management allows anyone with your password to configure the 
Gateway from somewhere else on the Internet.
