Configure your Computer to Have a Static IP Address
Port forwarding the Arris WTM652G to your computer can be more reliable if you first configure a static IP address on your computer. We have instructions to setup a static IP address for Windows 7, Windows 8, and a variety of other devices on our Static IP Address Settings page.

Now to forward a port, make the following changes:
You are now on a page like the one you see above. In the first box labeled Enable put a check mark in this box.
Second, enter the name of the program in the box labeled Description. It is not essential what you put in this box, it should just be something that reminds you of why you are forwarding these ports.
If you happen to be forwarding only one port, then enter this number in both of the boxes that are labeled Inbound port and Private port. If you are forwarding multiple ports then you need to enter the lowest number of the range in the left box of both Inbound port and Private port and the highest number of the range in the right box of both Inbound port and Private port.
Next is the Type, use the drop down menu to choose the type of protocol you are going to use for these ports.
The last one is the Private IP Address. Enter the IP Address that you are forwarding the ports to. For instance, if you are forwarding these ports to run a program on your computer, then use that computer's IP Address.
Congratulations you are finished! All that is left is to click the Save button.
