Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding allows you to redirect a particular public

port to a computer on your LAN network. This helps

you host servers behind the NAT and Firewall.

In the example below, there is a WEB Server running on port 80

on the LAN. For security reasons, the Administrator would like

to provide this server to Internet connection on port 1000.

There is a connection from the Internet on port 1000

and it will be forwarded to the computer with the IP

address 192.168.2.100 and changed to port 80.
