Set Up Port Forwarding to a Local Server
If you have a server in your home network, you can allow certain types o\
f incoming traffic to 
reach the server. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or 
game server visible and available to the Internet.
The router can forward incoming traffic with specific protocols to computers on your local  network. 
 You can specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a d\
efault DMZ 
server to which the router forwards all other incoming protocols.
To forward specific incoming protocols:
1.  Decide which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.
2.  Find the local IP address of the computer on your network that will prov\
ide the service.
The server computer must always have the same IP address. To specify this setting, use  the reserved IP address feature. See Reserve LAN IP Addresses on page  41.
3.  Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to\
 the network.
4.  Enter  http://www
 .routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com .
A login screen displays.
5.  Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is  admin. 
 The default password is password . The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
6.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.
7. Leave the  Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type.
8.  In the Service Name list, select the service name.
If the service that you want to add is not in the list, create a custom \
service. See Add a 
Custom Port Forwarding Service on page  135.

9. 
In the Server IP Address field, enter the IP address of the computer that will provide the 
service. 
10.  Click the  Add button.
The service displays in the list.
Add a Custom Port Forwarding Service
To add a custom service:

You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the \
application or user  groups or news groups.
2.  Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to\
 the network.
3.  Enter  http://www
 .routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.

8. In the Service Name field, enter a descriptive name. 
9.  In the Service T
 ype field, select the protocol. 
If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP .
10.  In the  External Starting Port field, enter the beginning port number
 . 
If the application uses a single port, enter the same port number in the\
 External Ending 
Port field.
If the application uses a range of ports, enter the ending port number o\
f the range in the 
External Ending Port field.
11.  Specify the internal ports by one of these methods:
• Leave the Use the same port range for Internal port check box selected.
• T
ype the port numbers in the Internal Starting Port and Internal Ending Port  fields.
12.  T
ype the IP address in the Internal IP address field or select the radio button for an 
attached device listed in the table.
13.  Click the  Apply button. 
The service is now in the list on the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen.

Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forward\
ing to allow web 
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. 
To make a local web server public:
1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address\
 using DHCP 
address reservation. 
In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address \
of 192.168.1.33. 
2.  In the Port Forwarding/Port 
 Triggering screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP 
service to the local address of your web server at  192.168.1.33. 
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.
3.  (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and specif\
y that name in the 
Dynamic DNS screen of the router

. 
Dynamic DNS makes it much easier to access a server from the Internet be\
cause you 
can type the name in the Internet browser
 . Otherwise, you must know the IP address that 
the ISP assigned, which typically changes.

How the Router Implements the Port Forwarding Rule
The following sequence shows the effects of a port forwarding rule:
1. When you type the URL www.example.com in your browser, the browser sends a web 
page request message with the following destination information: 
•Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of 
your router.
•Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server 
process.
2. Your router receives the message and finds your port forwarding rule for incoming port 80 
traffic. 
3. The router changes the destination in the message to IP address 192.168.1.123 and sends 
the message to that computer.
4. Your web server at IP address 192.168.1.123 receives the request and sends a reply 
message to your router.
5. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and 
sends the reply through the Internet to the computer or WiFi device that sent the web page 
request. 
Set Up Port Triggering
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:
•An application must use port forwarding to more than one local computer (but not 
simultaneously).
•An application must open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
With port triggering, the router monitors traffic to the Internet from an outbound “trigger” port 
that you specify. For outbound traffic from that port, the router saves the IP address of the 
computer that sent the traffic. The router temporarily opens the incoming port or ports that 
you specify in your rule, and forwards that incoming traffic to that destination.
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local 
computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and 
close the ports when they are no longer needed.
Note:If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer 
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or 
remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), enable Universal Plug 
and Play (UPnP). See 
Improve Network Connections with Universal 
Plug and Play on page 73.
