Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN, such as DNS, Email and FTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the 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 be changed when using the DHCP function.

You can type a service port or a range of service ports (in XXX - YYY format, XXX is the start port number, YYY is the end port number). ¾ Internal Port - The Internal Service Port number of the PC running the service application. You can leave it blank if the Internal Port is the same as the Service Port, or enter a specific port number when Service Port is a single one. ¾ IP Address - The IP Address of the PC providing the service application. ¾ Protocol - The protocol used for this application, either TCP, UDP, or All (all protocols supported by the Router). ¾ Status - The status of this entry, either Enabled or Disabled. ¾ Modify - To modify or delete an existing entry.
