Port Fowarding Clarification

[dizzizane]

On my Router i have dd-wrt installed and when i go to port forwarding it has two columns that say "Port From" and "Port To".

So what I'm asking is why is there two "Port" options when all you need is one. Or at least in my expierence what you put in one is what you put in the other.

Any clarification is much appreciated. Thanks

Some programs you can change the port that it uses from the standard one. What the config screen does is translates the outside (internet) port to the port number on the inside (your network) that you are using.
If you didn't change anything then just put the same port number in each box.
