Virtual Server

It is possible to set up a server such as a Web or FTP server on your net-

work for Internet users to access. Internet users simply need to enter the IP
address that has been assigned to your dial-up connection to get access to
LAN servers. The PalmRouter Elite will redirect the request of the Internet
user to the specified IP address of the TCP port request.

Note: It will be much more convenient to have a fixed address from your

ISP. Failure to do so will result in being assigned a different IP
address every time a dial-up connection is made to the ISP.

For example, if you set up the TCP port 80 (HTTP: Hypertext Transfer

Protocol) to be redirected to IP address"192.168.1.2" on the Virtual Server
setting, the request from the Internet user via HTTP protocol (i.e. acquire Web
page from browser) will be transferred through the PalmRouter Elite to the
computer with IP address "192.168.1.2" on your local network.
