If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number in the left box of both the Inbound port and Private port. Enter the highest number in the right box of both.

The next is a drop down menu called Type. Use this menu to select the type of protocol you want to use when forwarding these ports.

Under the heading Private IP address enter the IP address you are forwarding these ports to. For instance, if you are forwarding a range of ports to run a program on your computer, then be sure to use that computer's IP address in this box.
