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�
