Public Start IP: This is the starting Inside Public IP Address. Enter 0.0.0.0 here if you

have a dynamic IP address from your ISP.

Public End IP: This is the ending Inside Public IP Address. This field is N/A for

One-to-one, Many-to-One and Server mapping types.

Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users

will be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are

advised to use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your

application requires, instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all

connections from the WAN attempt to access to your public IP of the

DMZ PC specified

.

Attention

If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the

Virtual Server function will hence be invalid.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in

assigning the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid

conflicts. The easiest way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually

assign static IP address to each virtual server PC, with an address that

does not fall into the range of IP addresses that are to be issued by the

DHCP server. You can configure the virtual server IP address

manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as the router.
