Configuring Internal forwarding settings
The “Virtual Servers” function will allow you to route external (Internet)

calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or

other applications through your Router to your internal network. Since

your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside

your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot

be “seen.” You will need to contact the application vendor to find out

which port settings you need.

entering settings into the Virtual server
To enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the

internal (server) machine, and the port(s) required to pass. Then select

the port type (TCP or UDP), port number, check the “Enable” box, and

click “Set”. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You

can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that

you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application.
