9.4 Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding is used to allow public services such as Web Server, Mail Server, or FTP server
to be set up. For example: Set up a Web Server on your computer with port number 8080. A
visitor on the Internet can access your Web Server by entering WAN Port IP with port
number 8080. If the WAN Port IP address is 192.168.5.1, then visitors must enter
http://192.168.5.1:8080
. To find out more about common port numbers please consult the
Internet.
