Configuration with Advanced SetupPort ForwardingPort Forwarding (the forwarding of requests to particular ports) is needed when youwish to operate Server services for the Internet on a PC in your LAN. For example, onone of your PC's you could run a Web server which provides HTML pages. In this case therouter acts as the Virtual server, forwarding requests for an HTML page from theInternet to the designated PC on which the Web server is running. Externally the routertakes on the role of the server. It receives requests from remote users under its public IPaddress and automatically redirects them to local PC's. The private IP addresses of theservers on the local network remain protected.Internet services are addressed by defined Ports. The router needs a mapping table ofthe port numbers to redirect the service requests to the server that actually provides theservice. You must create this mapping table.◆ To set up Port Forwarding for a service, select Port Forwarding in the Virtual servermenu.iYou will find an example of Port Forwarding in "Practical Tips andConfiguration Examples" on the CD supplied.84
