Next is the Inbound port and Private port boxes. If you are forwarding a single port, enter this port number into both of these boxes. Both the Inbound port and Private port. If you are forwarding a range of ports, which is more common, enter the range in both of these boxes. Enter the lowest number first, highest number last, and separated by a dash, like 500-600.

In the Type drop down menu, choose the type of protocol you are going to use to forward these ports.

Under the Private IP address, enter the IP address you are forwarding these ports to, for example, if you are forwarding a range of ports to run a program on your computer, then you should use that computer's IP address here.

After you have finished all the previous steps, click the Add button, and the Apply Changes button.

That's it, you are finished!
