After you open an account with your DDNS, they will provide you with this infor- mation. Enter this information here.

Tip: If you want to use a dedicated computer as a web server, then you’ll want to enable it as a distributed server; see the following section.

5.4 Distributed Servers Setup

One of the most powerful features of this router is its ability to redirect inbound Internet traffic to specific computers on the LAN (and computers connected to the router’s LAN ports). If you have a growing Internet business and a static IP address (or dynamic IP address—if using a DDNS provider), then use this fea- ture to handle network requests for up to 20 separate severs. Although each server can handle multiple network services, only one server can be assigned to each network service.

For each Service Port, select one computer to handle all requests to this port. For the Server IP, enter the last octet (the number after the last period) of the computer’s IP address. For example, if you have four computers and you want to configure popular Internet servers, then specify distributed servers using a mapping similar to the example below:

Port

Service

Server IP

Enable

21

FTP Server

192.168.123.100

25

Email Server

192.168.123.101

80

Web Server

192.168.123.102

110

Post Office Server

192.168.123.103

 

 

 

 

Tip: To quickly enable popular services, use the “Common Ports” at the bottom of the screen or press the Help button to see a list of service ports.

Always restart the router to complete the changes after entering or changing the values.
