The supports the function to use a special application to configure dynamic port forwarding. Certain applications in the local area network (LAN) must use a specified port of the firewall to access remote applications. To set up a Transmission Control Protocol and User Datagram Protocol (TCP/UDP) connection between an application in the LAN and a remote application, the firewall uses this port forwarding function to open the required port.
A client in the LAN uses TCP to access the MSN game server through port 47624. When the game starts, the game server uses TCP and port 2400 to set up a connection to the client that tries to access the server. In this case, you must configure dynamic port forwarding, because the game conflicts with the following default firewall rules:
To solve this problem, you must define a set of port forwarding rules. When the client in the LAN sends data to TCP port 47624, the rules allow data input from TCP port 2400. Then data from the game server can be received from and transmitted to the LAN client that sends data to TCP port 47624.
