8.2

Assigning a service (HTTP, FTP,...) to a Computer

Introduction

The Technicolor Gateway allows you to use one Internet connection for multiple computers. This means that all your

computers share one public IP address, as if only one computer were connected to the outside world.

Issue

When the Technicolor Gateway receives an incoming message, the Technicolor Gateway has to decide to which computer it

has to send this message.

If the incoming message is a response to an outgoing message originating from one of your computers, the Technicolor

Gateway sends the incoming message to this computer.

If your are running a server or an application that acts as a server (for example a HTTP server, Internet game), the initial

message will come from the Internet and the Technicolor Gateway has no information to decide to which computer it should

forward the incoming message.

Solution

To avoid this problem you can do either of the following:



Enable

UPnP

.



Assign a game or application to a local networking device

.

UPnP

UPnP is a technology that enables seamless operation of a wide range of games and messaging applications. Your computer

will use UPnP to communicate to the Technicolor Gateway which services are running on the computer.

For example, when you start a UPnP-enabled application on your computer, it will automatically create the necessary port

mappings on this computer and on the Technicolor Gateway.

For more information on UPnP, see

“8.1 UPnP” on page 60

Assign a game or application to a local networking device

If you assign a game or application to a local networking device, you will basically tell the Technicolor Gateway that if it

receives requests for a specific game or application, it has to forward these messages to a specific computer.

Proceed as follows to do so:

1

Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.

For more information, see

“Accessing the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 29

.

2

On the

Toolbox

menu, click

Game & Application Sharing

.

3

In the

Pick a task

list, click

Assign a game or application to a local network device

.

4

In the

Game or application

list, click the service you want to run on the computer. For example,

HTTP Server (World

Wide Web)

.

5

In the

Device

list, select the computer to which you want to assign the service. Your computer will be listed with its

computer name.

6

All incoming requests for the selected service will now be directed to the selected device. The Technicolor Gateway will

also configure its firewall to allow this service.

If the service is not available in the list, click

Create a new game or application

in the

Pick a task

list. For more

information, click

Help

on the

Technicolor Gateway GUI

Dynamic DNS

Introduction

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to assign a dynamic DNS host name (for example mywebpage.dyndns.org) to a

broadband connection even if it is using a dynamic IP address. As soon as the device gets a new IP address, the dynamic

DNS server updates its entry to the new IP address.

What you need

Before you can configure Dynamic DNS, you first have to create an account at a Dynamic DNS service provider. For

example:



www.dyndns.org



www.no-ip.com



www.dtdns.com

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1

Browse to the Technicolor Gateway GUI.

For more information, see

“Accessing the Technicolor Gateway GUI” on page 29

.

2

On the

Toolbox

menu, click

Dynamic DNS

.

3

On the

Navigation bar

, click

.

4

If necessary, select the broadband connection to which you want to assign the Dynamic DNS host name in the Interface

list.
