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�
