1. If you disable the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual

Server function becomes invalid.

2.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in

assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid

conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to

manually assign a static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an

address that does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are

issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP

address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the

router.

Attention

Using port mapping does have security implications, since outside users

are able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are

advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your

application requires instead of simply using DMZ or creating a Virtual

Server entry for “All” protocols, as doing so results in all connection

attempts to your public IP address accessing the specified PC.
