Port Forwarding with NetGear DGN2000

Port forwarding within the DGN2000 can a be two step process if you are looking to customise the rules. DGN2000 comes with a bunch of common ports and services, but if you are looking to stray from the common ports (which is sometimes the best thing to do) then follow these instructions:


First create your own service.
From the left hand side menu click Services, then click on Add Custom Service.
Enter the Name, Type, Port Range (read the help section which is displayed on the right hand side for information on each field)
Click Apply

You can see your custom defined service within the list of services, then once your ready to apply the rules for the service click on Firewall Rules on the left hand side menu.
Click on Add under the Inbound Services section  
Select the Action
Enter the IP of your machine to forward the packets to under Send to LAN Server
Keep the WAN Users to Any
Click on Apply

There you have it, the port has been successfully forwarded to your custom service.
