There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu (shown in Figure 4-44): Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, DMZ and UPnP. Click any of them, and you will be able to configure the corresponding function.

4.8.1Virtual Servers

Choose menu “Forwarding→Virtual Servers”, and then you can view and add virtual servers in the next screen (shown in Figure 4-45). Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from Internet to this service port will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used for a virtual server must have a static or reserved IP address because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.
