4.5.4.1 Virtual Servers

Choose “Advanced Setup→NAT→Virtual Servers”, you can set up virtual servers on the screen

below (shown in Figure 4-32).

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 change when

using the DHCP function.
