    I have a belkin wireless router and I kind of no how to forward ports but I'm not sure exactly what everything is when I access the router.

    The columns are labled......

    -Enable- of course I know what this one is

    -Description- thats an easy one to

    -Inbound Port- this is what port I want to keep open right?

    -Type- I can select TCP or UDP, what the heck are those?

    -Private IP Address- I can only ASSUME that this is to forward a port to a specific PC in my network (I have 2)

    -Private Port- I have no clue what this is, I always set it to the same as the inbound port.

    So can anyone please enlighten me????
    Confirm or correct what I THINK I know and tell me the answers to what I dont know.

    Please and thanks.
