Netgear DGN100Bv3 User Manual

The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on 
your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or 
game server visible and available to the Internet.

Use the Port Forwarding / Port Triggering screen to configure the modem router to forward 
specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for 
specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming 
protocols are forwarded.

Before you start, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide, 
and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server computer 
needs to always have the same IP address.

To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP 
address feature of your product. For more information, see
