4.9Forwarding

There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu (shown in Figure 4-27):Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, DMZ and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.

Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the Internet to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Address may change when using the DHCP function. Port Triggering is used for some applications that cannot work with a pure NAT router, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet calling and so on, which
