Forwarding
Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make certain requests on your network, the Router can forward those requests to computers equipped to handle the requests. For example, if you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2.
You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway. Be sure that you enter a valid IP Address. (You may need to establish a static IP address in order to properly run an Internet server.) For added security, Internet users will be able to communicate with the server, but they are not actually connected. The packets are simply forwarded through the Router.
