Virtual Server

It is possible to set up your own Web, FTP, or other type of server

on your network for external Internet users to access. Internet users

simply need to enter the WAN IP address that has been assigned to

you by your ISP. The XRouter Pro will redirect the request of the

Internet user to the specified internal hidden IP address of the TCP

port request.

(NOTE: It will be much more convenient to have a fixed address

from your ISP. Failure to do so will result in being assigned a different

IP address every time your connection to the ISP is reset.)

For example, if you set up the TCP port 80 (HTTP: Hypertext

Transfer Protocol) to be redirected to the IP address"192.168.1.2" on

the Virtual Server setting, the request from the external Internet user

via HTTP protocol (i.e. acquire Web page from browser) will be trans-

ferred through the XRouter Pro to the computer with the IP address

"192.168.1.2" on your local network.
