4. Set Up Port Triggering Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases e More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application but not simultaneously e An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port When port triggering is enabled the router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified outbound trigger port When the router detects outbound traffic on that port it remembers the IP address of the local computer that sent the data The router then temporarily opens the specified incoming port or ports and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the triggering computer Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close the ports when they are no longer needed Note If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming peer to peer connections real time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance a feature in Windows XP you should also enable Universal Plug and Play UPnP according to the instructions in Universal Plug and Play on page 118 Advanced Settings 112 CENTRIA WNDR4700 WNDR4720 To configure port triggering you need to know which inbound ports the application needs and the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbo
