3.3.1 Virtual Server (Port Forwarding)

The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular range of service port numbers (from the Internet/WAN Ports) to a particular LAN IP address. It helps you to host some servers behind the router NAT firewall.

	firewall. Note: You need to give your LAN PC clients a
	fixed/static IP address for Virtual Server to work properly.

	router will be listed here. If you do not see any computer after
	you click on the drop-down menu, select the option “Refresh”
