This is the port forwarding page from your Billion Bipac 7800N router.

You are now on a new page like the one you see above. First, in the Application box enter the name of the program that you are forwarding these ports for. It is not important what you enter here so long as it reminds you of why you are forwarding these ports.

In the drop down box labeled Protocol choose the type of protocol you want to use when forwarding these ports.

Next is the External Port and the Redirect Port. If you are forwarding only one port, enter that port number into all four boxes or External and Redirect Ports. If you are going to be forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number in both of the from boxes, and the highest number in both of the to boxes.

Below that is the Internal IP Address. Type in the IP address you are forwarding these ports to in this box. Don't forget that if you are forwarding a port to run a program on your PC, be sure to use that PC's IP Address here.

The last thing to fill in is the Time Schedule, this should be left at Always On.

Now that you are done, click the Add button. On some Billion routers there is a Save Config button at the bottom of the page, if there is one on your router, click this also.

That's it, you're done!
