From Internet Host IP Address:
Select the initial place for port forwarding. If you choose SINGLE, a box will appear for you to fill in the IP address for the specific host. And, if you choose SUBNET, the boxes of IP and Subnet will appear for you to fill in the IP address and subnet mask for the specific host as the start point.
Forwarded to Internet Host IP Address: Type in the address for the host used as the place that information will be forwarded.
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).
After adding a new virtual server, click Apply.
The following screen will be shown to display the status for new ones.
If you do not want the new server that you added, please check the Delete box of that one and click the Delete button to discard it.

Http://203.70.212.52
Ftp://203.70.212.52
It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. However, you can use the Dynamic DNS feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Server through a URL, rather than an IP Address.
Virtual Server-Port Triggering
When the router detects outbound traffic on a specific port, it will set up the port forwarding rules temporarily on the port ranges that you specify to allow inbound traffic. It is supposed to increase the support for Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony due to the applications require multiple connection.
