This is the port forwarding page from your Belkin F9J1102 router.

The page you are now on is called Firewall>Virtual Servers. Place a check in the box marked Enable.

In the box labeled Description write something that is going to help you remember why you forwarded these ports, a good idea would be to enter the program name here.

If you are forwarding a single port, enter that number in the boxes Inbound port and Private port. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter that range in both of these boxes also. Enter them in this way, 22-29, with the lowest number, dash, highest number.

The next box is the Type, use this drop down menu to choose the type of protocol you want to use to forward these ports.

Last, but not least is the Private IP address. Enter the IP address that you are forwarding these ports to. For instance, if you are forwarding a port to run a program on a computer, you need to use that computer's IP address.

After you have finished all this, click the Add and Apply Changes button at the top of the page.
