Forwarding

via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to
the appropriate computers (also called servers) . Before using
forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the
designated computers (use the DHCP Reservation option on
the Basic Setup screen; refer to DHCP Reservation, page 16) .
