NAT Configuration

Lets you specify whether the system should determine the
NAT Public WAN Address automatically.

If the system is behind a NAT that allows HTTP traffic,
select Auto.

If the system is behind a NAT that does not allow HTTP
traffic, select Manual.

If the system is not behind a NAT or is connected to the
IP network through a Virtual Private Network (VPN),
select Off.

selecting UPnP first. If this selection does not work for
your router, select Auto or Manual.
