Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows incoming trac from the Internet to be forwarded to a particular computer
or device on your Wi-Fi network. Normally, the built-in rewall blocks incoming trac from the
Internet. You use Port Forwarding to allow Internet users to access any server you are running on
your computer, such as a Web, FTP, or E-mail server.
For some online games, Port Forwarding must be used in order for the games to function correctly.
The use of Port Forwarding creates a security risk and should be turned o when not required.
NOTE Some Mobile Wireless Networks provide you with an IP address on their own network rather than
an Internet IP address. In this case, Port Forwarding cannot be used because Internet users cannot
reach your IP address.
