Some business-class Internet service plans provide multiple static IP addresses. If you subscribe to such a service, you can use the router’s firewall and other features to protect the computers behind the router. Virtual Computer maps one external (WAN, Internet) IP Address to one local (LAN, WLAN) IP address. If you only have 1 static IP address, do not enter it into this table.

Global IP. Enter an external IP address provided by your ISP.

Local IP. Enter a local IP address. The first 3 octets (192.168.123) are defined in the WAN Type, LAN IP Address.

Enable. Check this item to enable this mapping.

Note: A Virtual Computer is different from a Virtual Server (chapter 7). A virtual server re-directs Internet services to a specific computer. A virtual computer maps an external fixed IP address to a specific computer on the internal network.
