To enable the selected virtual server, click to select the Enable check box in the Properties section, then click the arrow to open the PC (Server) list and click the computer you want to act as the server. Default settings for Internal Port No. and External Port No. are shown for pre-defined servers. If you have made changes to a pre-defined server, click Update Selected Server to save the changes.

To configure a new (not pre-defined) virtual server, type the name in the box to the right of Enable, then click the arrow to open the PC (Server) list and click the computer you want to act as the server. Click the arrow to open the Protocol list, then click the type of protocol the server uses. Type the settings for Internal Port No (based on the server software) and External Port No (normally the same as the Internal Port number). Click Add as new Server to add the new server to the Servers list, or Clear Form to remove your entries.

Close the window to return to the Advanced Features/Configuration window.

Using a dynamic DNS service

Dynamic DNS is an external service provided by a third party. To set up Dynamic DNS you must register with this third party provider and obtain a user name, a password, and a domain name.

Dynamic DNS lets you use a domain name (which will not change) instead of an Internet IP address (which may change each time you connect to your ISP’s server) to connect to your virtual servers.
