The

Port Forwarding

screen sets up public services on your network, such as

web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applica-

tions. (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

Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Any PC whose port

is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and must have

a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when

using the DHCP function.

Port Triggering

Port Triggering is used for special Internet applications whose

outgoing ports differ from the incoming ports. For this feature, the Router will

watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The Router will remember the

IP address of the computer that sends a transmission requesting data, so that

when the requested data returns through the Router, the data is pulled back to

the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules. Click the

Port Triggering

button to set up triggered ports, and follow these instructions:

1.

Enter the Application Name of the trigger (see Figure 6-24).

2. Enter the Outgoing Port Range used by the application. Check with the

Internet application for the port number(s) needed.

3.

Enter the Incoming Port Range used by the application. Check with the

Internet application for the port number(s) needed.

find out the port range, check your application's documentation.) If there is

only one External Port, enter its number in both External Port fields.

TCP Protocol

Click this checkbox if you want to forward the data transmis-

sions that use the TCP protocol.

UDP Protocol

Click this checkbox if you want to forward the data transmis-

sions that use the UDP protocol.

. To

disable the Dynamic Routing feature for all data transmissions, keep the default

setting,

Disable

. (This feature is not available in Gateway mode.)

Static Routing

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network infor-

mation must travel to reach a specific host or network. To set up a static route

between the Router and another network, follow these instructions:

1.

Select a number from the

Static Routing

drop-down list.

2. Enter the following data:

•

Destination IP Address -

The Destination IP Address is the address of

the network or host to which you want to assign a static route.

•

Subnet Mask -

The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a

Destination LAN IP address is the network portion, and which portion

is the host portion.

•

Gateway -

This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for

contact between the Router and the network or host.

3.

Depending on where the Destination IP Address is located, select

LAN &

Wireless

or

WAN

from the

Interface

drop-down menu.

4.

To save your changes, click the

Apply

button. To cancel your changes,

click the

To delete a static route entry, follow these instructions:

1.

From the

Static Routing

drop-down list, select the entry number of the stat-

ic route.

2.

Click the

Delete This Entry

button.

3.

To save a deletion, click the

On the

Routing

screen, you can set the routing mode of the Router. Gateway

mode is recommended for most users.

Operating Mode

Choose the correct working mode. Keep the default setting,

Gateway

, if the Router is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet

(recommended for most users). Select

Router

if the Router exists on a network

with other routers.

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

Dynamic Routing enables the Router to automati-

cally adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and exchange routing

tables with other routers. The Router determines the network packets’ route

based on the fewest number of hops between the source and destination. To

enable the Dynamic Routing feature for the WAN side, select

WAN

. To enable

this feature for the LAN and wireless side, select

LAN & Wireless

. To enable

The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS

lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address.

It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other serv-

er behind the Router. Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for

DDNS service at

www.dyndns.org

, a DDNS service provider.

DDNS Service

To disable DDNS Service, keep the default setting,

Disable

. To

enable DDNS Service, follow these instructions:

1.

Sign up for DDNS service at

www.dyndns.org

, and write down your User

Name, Password, and Host Name information.

2.

On the

DDNS

screen, select

Enable

.

3.

Complete the
