Virtual Server

It is possible to set up your own Web or FTP server on your net-

work for external Internet users to access. Internet users simply need
to enter the IP address that has been assigned to you. The XRouter
will redirect the request of the Internet user to the specified internal
hidden IP address of the TCP port request.

(NOTE: It will be much more convenient to have a fixed address

from your ISP. Failure to do so will result in being assigned a different
IP address every time your connection to the ISP is reset.)

For example, if you set up the TCP port 80 (HTTP: Hypertext

Transfer Protocol) to be redirected to the IP address"192.168.1.2" on
the Virtual Server setting, the request from the external Internet user
via HTTP protocol (i.e. acquire Web page from browser) will be trans-
ferred through the XRouter to the computer with the IP address
"192.168.1.2" on your local network.
