   You can go into System Configuration - Network Address Translation -   
   Change/Show Server lists.  The default settings creates a list called   
   "Easy-Servers" that you can use to forward ports to the computer inside   
   your network.  You will need to know what ports are required for your   
   application, you should be able to find that kind of information in the   
   documentation for your program.   
      
   The Netopia works without any configuration changes if your friend used   
   the standard port for FTP (21).  The FTP protocol is very strange and   
   requires some manipulation by the router to work transparently.  It can   
   only detect that an FTP session is being attempted when the FTP server   
   is using the standard port number.  When it is using a non-standard port   
   number like 30021 it will not automatically forward the incoming   
   connection to the internal PC.  You will need to set this up with manual   
   port forwarding.  There is an advanced feature called Statefull   
   Inspection in newer models of the router that can help setup automatic   
   port forwarding only after the outbound connection is made.  You will   
   find that feature on the Netopia 3300-ENT series.  The model that   
   replaces the R910 is the 3386-ENT.  I think they still sell the R910 but   
   the 3386 is faster and cheaper than the old model.
