NetComm NB6, NB6W, NB6PLUS4, NB6PLUS4W, NB6PLUS4WN manual Add New Port Forwarding, Pre-defined

IP Address seen by Internet Users

Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers.

Please note that, in the above picture, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP address, but using different protocols, such as Http://203.70.212.52 and Ftp://203.70.212.52.

To Internet users, all virtual servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is allocated by your ISP. This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers. However, you can use Dynamic DNS feature to allow users to connect to your virtual servers by using a URL, instead of an IP address.

IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).

Add New Port Forwarding

To set a virtual server, please open the Virtual Server item from the Advanced setup menu. To add a new Port Forwarding, please click Add from the Port Forwarding web page.

Pre-defined:

Choose one of the service types from the first drop-down list, such as Audio/Video, Games, and so on. In the second drop-down list, choose the name of the application that you want to use with the type that you select in the first list.

For example, if you choose Audio/Video in the first field, the corresponding contents of the second field would be like the drop-down list shown as the following figure.
