IP address. This technology works even if your ISP allocates dynamic IP addresses (IP
address is allocated upon connection, so it may change each time you connect).

Servers

This lists a number of common Server types. If the desired Server
type is not listed, you can create a Firewall Rule to achieve the
same effect as the Virtual Server function.

Properties

Enable

Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as required.

If Enabled, you must select the PC to which this traffic will be sent.

PC (Server)

Select the PC for this Server. The PC must be running the appro-
priate Server software.

For each entry, the PC must be running the appropri-
ate Server software.

If the desired Server type is not listed, you can define
your own Servers, using the Firewall Rules.

Connecting to the Virtual Servers

Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use
the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP).
e.g.

http://203.70.212.52

ftp://203.70.212.52

It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic.
However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature, described in the following section, to allow
users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
