Setup Port Forwarding (XBOX example):
To setup Port Forwarding, use the following procedure:
1.
Access the web interface. Refer to
page 7
, if needed.
2.
Click the
Gateway
link from the top of the screen. Click
Forwarding
from the left
side of the screen. The
Forwarding
fields are explained following this screen
example.
3. The example below shows how to setup an XBOX running Modern Warfare 2.
Since multiple ports are used for XBOX and this particular game, a separate
forwarding rule is setup for each port. Multiple ports and forwarding rules may not
be the case for other applications, however. Note the following:
The
XBOX IP
is entered in the Local IP field. Notice how the IP is entered in 4
rows, one row for each port used by the XBOX.
The
ports
used by the XBOX are defined in the Internal Port field. The same
ports used by the XBOX are also defined in the External Port Start and End
fields.
Keep in mind that you may want to setup some applications/services to listen
on one internal port, while external internet users who want to access that
application address it using another port, such as an Audio server. Using the
screen example below,
Internal Ports
are the ports that local servers listen to.
External Ports
are the ports that the cable modem listens to from the WAN.
Port Forwarding rules are created per port. So a rule set up for port 53 will only
work for port 53. A port can only be used by one program at a time.
For detailed information on port forwarding, including how to set it up for
specific applications using specific network devices (for example, cable
modems), refer to:
http://portforward.com
or consult your host device or
application user manual.
