port forwarding on plusnet router

Hi

I have just purchased a CRM software and want to set it up so I can access it over the internet so when I get home from the office, I can access the CRM database from home but its saying I need to log into the router and add TCP/IP port forwarding from public port 1122 to 192.168.1.67 port 1122

Can anyone help me please set it up or point me in the right direction on how to do it, I am on the port forwarding page in my plusnet router page and says select game or application and then device but unsure which it would come under on game or application?

Thank you in advance

Ian

If you care about the security of your CRM app and data, you will not do port forwarding to access this application. Doing a port forward is essentially exposing your CRM application directly to the Internet. When what you're trying to do here is placed in this context, do you still feel comfortable in doing the port forward?

Most times that we port forward we are only concerned with one port, but sometimes there are multiple consecutive ports to forward. Going on the info you gave in your initial post the (public) port range is '1122' or '1122 to 1122' (not sure what format you have to specify in your particular router). "Translate" seems a not-very-good term to use, but it must mean the port to which you want the public 1122 to be forwarded (1122 for you).

And somewhere, I trust, there must be a place for you to specify the IP address (192.168.1.67).

Terry, many times the configuration page for port forwarding also combines the function of port translation. Sometimes, an administrator wants to have a port number translate to a totally different public port number. An example of this is setting up a 443 SSL translation. I have a box which has a service answering on 443. However I want to use a different public port say 8443. So the translation rule would be [public ip] port 8443 translates to 192.168.1.20 port 443. Contrast this to a standard port forward rule which would be [public ip] port 443 to 192.168.1.20 port 443.
