Setting Up NAT Forwarding for a Game Server
Thomas manages a Civilization IV server on a computer behind the Device. In order for players on
the Internet (like
A
in the figure below) to communicate with the server, Thomas can use port
forwarding or application forwarding. Application forwarding can be easier to set up since you do
not need to specify port numbers manually.
Note: You cannot configure an application forwarding rule that uses the same ports as a
configured port forwarding rule.
Note: If firewall is enabled, you may also need to configure an Access Control List rule for
the relevant ports. See
Access Control List
.

Port Forwarding
Thomas needs to configure the port settings and IP address on the Device. Traffic should be
forwarded to TCP/UDP port 6500, and UDP ports 2302 and 13139 of the server computer which has
an IP address of 192.168.1.34.
Thomas may set up the port settings by configuring the port settings for the server computer.

Access Your Home Computer from the Internet Using
DDNS
If you connect your Device to the Internet and it uses a dynamic WAN IP address, it is inconvenient
for you to access your home computer from the Internet. The Device’s WAN IP address changes
dynamically. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) allows you to access your home computer using a domain
name.
Note: You will need to enable remote desktop server service on your home computer. The
remote desktop server feature is only included in Windows Professional, Business
and Ultimate versions.
Note: If firewall is enabled, you may also need to configure an Access Control List rule for
the relevant ports. See
Access Control List
.
To use this feature, you have to apply for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org.
This tutorial covers:
•
Registering a DDNS Account on www.dyndns.org
•
Configuring DDNS on Your Device
•
Configuring Port Forwarding on your Device
•
Testing the DDNS Setting
Note: If you have a private WAN IP address, then you cannot use DDNS.
