Wireless-G Broadband Router with RangeBooster
The Applications & Gaming Tab - Port Range Triggering
The Port Triggering screen allows the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port numbers. The IP address of
the computer that sends the matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when the requested data
returns through the Router, the data is sent to the proper computer by way of IP address and port mapping rules.

The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such
as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port
Range Forward feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ
hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
To expose one PC, select Enabled.
Source IP Address. If you want to allow any Internet IP address to access the exposed computer, select Any IP
Address. If you want to allow a specific IP address or range of IP addresses to access the exposed computer,
select the second option and enter the IP address or range of IP addresses in the fields provided.
Destination. Enter the IP address or MAC Address of the computer you want to expose.
Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel
