servers behind the Gateway (such servers may include FTP or e-mail servers). 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.

•

External Port and Internal Port. Enter the External and Internal Port numbers.

the Gateway will watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Gateway will remember the IP address of the

computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that when the requested data returns through the

Gateway, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.
