Port Range Forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make certain requests on your network, the Router can forward those requests to computers equipped to handle the requests. If, for example, you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. It is recommended that the Router's DHCP function is disabled to utilize port forwarding.

You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway. Be sure that you enter a valid IP Address. (You may need to establish a static IP address with your ISP in order to properly run an Internet server.) For added security, Internet users will be able to communicate with the server, but they will not actually be connected. The packets will simply be forwarded through the Router.

1. Enter an arbitrary Application name of the service you want to forward. 
2. Enter the Port Range Start and End of the service you want to forward.
3. Select the protocol used by the services.
4. Enter the IP Address of the server that you want the Internet users to access. 
5. Select Enable for that entry.
6. Click the Save Settings button to save the settings.

1. Enter a zero number in the Port Range number and IP Address from the fields.
