or game servers. For each entry, you dene a public port on your router for redirection to an internal LAN IP Address and LAN port. This option is

used to open multiple ports or a range of ports in your router and redirect data through those ports to a single PC on your network. This feature

allows you to enter ports in the format, Port Ranges (100-150),

Individual Ports (80, 68, 888), or Mixed (1020-5000, 689). This option is only applicable to the INTERNET session.
