Now we come to the Inbound port. Enter the port number you are forwarding in this box. Enter that same number in the box labeled Private port.

Next is the drop down menu labeled Type. Use this menu to choose the type of protocol you want to use when forwarding this port.

The last thing to enter is the Private IP address. In this box enter the IP address you are forwarding these ports to. For example if you are forwarding a port to run a computer program, be sure to use that computer's IP address in this box.
