Since NAT acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, your router protects your network from access by

outside users, as all incoming connection attempts point to your router unless you specifically

create Virtual Server entries to forward those ports to a PC on your network. When your router

needs to allow outside users to access internal servers, e.g. a web server, FTP server, Email

server or game server, the router can act as a “virtual server”. You can set up a local server with a

specific port number for the service to use, e.g. web/HTTP (port 80), FTP (port 21), Telnet (port 23),

SMTP (port 25), or POP3 (port 110). When an incoming access request to the router for a specified

port is received, it is forwarded to the corresponding internal server.

For example, if you set the port number 80 (Web/HTTP) to be mapped to the IP Address

192.168.1.2, then all incoming HTTP requests from outside users are forwarded to the local server

(PC) with the IP address of 192.168.1.2. If the port is not listed as a predefined application, you

need to add it manually.

In addition to specifying the port number used, you also need to specify the protocol used. The
