How to Forward Ports on a Belkin
If you have a Belkin router on your home network, you might have wondered how you can set up port forwarding to allow applications on the Internet to access a computer inside your network. As long as you know the log-in information for the router's control panel (and the IP address of the computer you need to forward ports to) you can easily take care of this problem.
