may not require any forwarding.)
When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Modem will forward those requests to
the appropriate computer. Any computer whose port is being forwarded should have its DHCP client function
disabled and should have a static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using the
DHCP function.
• Application. Enter the name you wish to give each application.
• Start and End. Enter the starting and ending numbers of the port you wish to forward.
• Protocol. Select the type of protocol you wish to use for each application: TCP, UDP, or Both.
• IP Address. Enter the IP Address of the appropriate computer.
• Enable. This checkbox must be selected to forward the requests to the defined IP address.
When finished making your changes on this tab, click the Save Settings button to save these changes, or click
