5.4 Gaming

Multiple connections are required by some applications, such as internet

games, video conferencing, Internet telephony, and others. These

applications have difficulties working through NAT (Network Address

Translation). This section 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. You can enter ports in various formats including, Port Ranges

(100-150), Individual Ports (80, 68, 888), or Mixed (1020-5000, 689).

Example: Suppose you are hosting an online game server that is running on

a PC with a private IP Address of 192.168.0.50. This game requires that you

open multiple ports (6159-6180, 99) on the router so Internet users can

connect.

5.4.1 Add Gaming Rule

Use this section to add a Gaming Rule to the following list.

Enable. Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.

Name. Give the rule a name that is meaningful to you, for example Game

Server. You can also select from a list of popular games, and many of the

remaining configuration values will be filled in accordingly. However, you

should check whether the port values have changed since this list was

created, and you must fill in the IP address field.

IP Address. Enter the local network IP address of the system hosting the

server, for example 192.168.0.50. You can select a computer from the list of DHCP clients in the Computer Name drop-down menu, or you can

manually enter the IP address of the server computer.

TCP Ports. Enter the TCP ports to open (for example 6159-6180, 99).

UDP Ports. Enter the UDP ports to open (for example 6159-6180, 99).

Schedule. Select a schedule for the times when this rule is in effect. If you do not see the schedule you need in the list of schedules, go to the

Tools → Schedules sub-menu and create a new schedule.

Inbound Filter. Select a filter that controls access as needed for this rule. If you do not see the filter you need in the list of filters, go to the

Advanced → Inbound Filter sub-menu and create a new filter.

Save/Update. Record the changes you have made. (continued)
