OK, I don't need the brand/mode/etc. here.
Now, I'm not sure of what port/s POP3 run on, so I'll give you an example for SMTP.

Enter the same thing for both Public and Private ports. (In the case of SMTP, 25).
The port type is TCP in the case of SMTP, POP3 and HTTP (WWW) and usually is.
For private IP, you'll have to enter the LAN IP address of the computer your running the daemons (servers) on.
And, obviously, you check Enabled.

Hope that helps.

pop3 runs on port 110 according to "Internet network services list" refered by "
Linux Programmer's Manual ".

I do not know what is the NAT program inside your modem's rom.
I can only give a possible setting if redirect is supported:

CODE

Private Port: 995
Type: TCP
Public Port: 110
