Port Numbers for Port Forwarding
These are common programs and the ports they use for network access.
The software maker has complete information and instructions, consult them if these ports do not work!
For a description of port forwarding, and configuration instructions, see How is Port Forwarding Configured?
- All NETGEAR router ports are closed by default to incoming traffic. (No port is closed to outgoing traffic.)
- NETGEAR routers pass incoming and outgoing traffic on the same port.
- Unless your router manual says otherwise, TCP and UDP traffic are passed through the same port, and both are opened or closed together.
- Macintosh, Unix and Windows use the same port numbers.
- These are typical port assignments, others are possible.
- Where more than one port is specified, it may be that all the ports are required by the application.
Go to the router's Port Forwarding Menu to enter the port numbers and IP address of the server. The default IP range is 192.168.0.XXX (When using DCHP).

1 Since NAT causes your LAN appear as a single computer to the Internet, it is impossible to configure other servers the same way on the same LAN behind NAT.
2 As White Pine CuSeeMe uses dedicated ports to transmit and receive, only one local CuSeeMe is allowed in a LAN.
3With NAT enabled, NetMeeting users in a LAN cannot connect to one remote NetMeeting user, as the remote user is unable to distinguish between LAN users. But NAT allows one local NetMeeting user to connect to multiple Internet users at a time.
4 Certain Quake servers do not allow multiple users to login using the same unique IP, so only one Quake user will be allowed in this case. In addition, when a Quake server is configured behind NAT, the router will not be able to provide information of that server on the Internet.
