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 64

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 33
.
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 33
.
2
On the
Toolbox
menu, click
Dynamic DNS
.
3
On the
Navigation bar
, click
Configure
.
4
Select the
Enabled
check box.
5
If necessary, select the broadband connection to which you want to assign the Dynamic DNS host name in the Interface
list.
6
Type the user name and password of your Dynamic DNS service account in the corresponding fields.
7
In the
Service
list, click the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider.
8
In the

box, type the host name that you got from the Dynamic DNS service provider (for example
mywebpage.dyndns.org).
