Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and 
sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the 
web page from www.example.com.
To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. 
You can usually find this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the 
relevant user groups or news groups.
How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering
The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering:
Any computer on your network can use port triggering, but only one computer can use it 
at a time.
Port forwarding is allowed only for the computer that you specify on your network.
With port triggering, you do not need to specify the computer’s IP address. The IP 
address is captured automatically.
Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer’s IP address during configuration, 
and the IP address can never change.
Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the 
triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.
Port forwarding is always active and does not need to be triggered.
Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers
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 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 
has 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. See
