In setting up port triggering for the DIR-655 (Advanced -> Application Rules), is it possible to add multiple single and port-range entries in the same "Trigger" field.
For example:
Name: Quicktime, Windows Media, Real Video
Trigger: 554, 1755, 6970, 7070 <--------------------Will this work? Is it acceptable?
Firewall: 6970-7007
If I were to define all the Trigger ports as separate entries in the Application Rules page, using the same Firewall range of ports, then the DIR-655 throws up a conflict error when trying to save the changes.
Here's another example:
Name: mIRC IDENT
Trigger: 6660-6670, 7000-7002 <---------------------Will this work?
Firewall: 113

I am currently using port forwarding because I have to disable uPNP, and I have to enter the same entries for different machines. For example, I have three devices with static IP addresses (192.168.0.101 to 103) that need to be able to run League of Legends, although not at the same time. Thus, I have to make three entries in the port forwarding section:
TCP 2099,8393 and UDP 5100-5400 for each of the static IP addresses. I am thinking of coming up with only one application rule entry:
trigger port: 5100-5400, UDP
firewall port: 2099, 5100-5400, 8393 any
but I will need to test it first.
I did try it with torrents. I have three devices, each one using a different port from the range 64000-64002. I entered the application rule:
trigger port: 64000-64002, any
firewall port: 64000-64002, any
but when I tested the torrent client that was assigned port 64001, it reported that the port is closed. I also tried to enter only one port:
trigger port: 64001, any
firewall port: 64001, any
and got the same result. But when I used port forwarding, I get no problems. It's just that I have to make three entries in port forwarding, one for each device that uses torrents.
