Chapter 6: Configuring the Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Range Forwarding
Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - Port Range Forwarding
The
Port 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 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.

Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - 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.

Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ
The
DMZ
screen allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as
Internet gaming and videoconferencing, through Software DMZ, or a user can use LAN Port 4 as a DMZ port,
through Hardware DMZ. Whereas Port Range Forwarding can only forward a maximum of 10 ranges of ports, DMZ
hosting forwards all the ports for one PC at the same time.
Software DMZ
. This feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing. To use this feature, select
Enabled
. To disable the
Software DMZ feature, select
