(Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to
use the name.
To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user has to know the IP address
that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can
reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.
Set Up Port Triggering
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•
More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not
simultaneously).
•
An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
When port triggering is enabled, the router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified
outbound “trigger” port. When the router detects outbound traffic on that port, it remembers
the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The router then temporarily opens the
specified incoming port or ports and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the
triggering computer.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer.
Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close
the ports when they are no longer needed.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),
you should also enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP).
To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs,
and the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You
can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user
groups or news groups.
To enable port triggering:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering
.
2.
Select the
Port Triggering
radio button.
3.
Clear the
Disable Port Triggering
check box.

If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you configure port triggering,
port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering configuration information that you
specified is saved even though it is not used.
4.
In the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.
This value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound
ports close when the inactivity time expires. This is required because the router cannot be
sure when the application has terminated.
To add a port triggering service:
1.
On the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, click the
Add Service
button.
2.
In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name.
3.
In the Service User list, select
Any
, or select
Single address
and enter the IP address of
one computer.
•
Any
(the default), allows any computer on the Internet to use this service.
•
Single address
restricts the service to a particular computer.
4.
Select the service type, either
TCP
or
UDP
or
TCP/UDP
(both). If you are not sure, select
TCP/UDP.
5.
In the Triggering Port field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that will cause the
inbound ports to be opened.
6.
Enter the inbound connection port information in the Connection Type, Starting Port, and
Ending Port fields.
7.
Click the
Apply
button.
The service appears in the Port Triggering Portmap Table.
8.
Make sure that you enable port triggering so that the service that you added will be used.

You might be able to find this information in the configuration screen of your email
program. If you leave this field blank, log and alert messages are not sent.
4.
Enter the email address to which logs and alerts are sent in the Send to This Email Address
field.
This email address is also used for the From address. If you leave this field blank, log and
alert messages are not sent.
5.
If your outgoing email server requires authentication, select the
My Mail Server requires
authentication
check box. Fill in the User Name and Password fields for the outgoing email
server.
6.
(Optional) Select the
Send Alerts Immediately
check box.
Email alerts are sent immediately when someone attempts to visit a blocked site.
7.
(Optional) Fill in the fields in the Send logs according to this schedule section of the screen.
Logs are sent automatically. If the log fills up before the specified time, the log is emailed.
After the log is sent, the log is cleared from the router memory. If the router cannot email
the log file, the log buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and
discards its contents.
8.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
