Local Web and FTP Server Example

If a local computer with a private IP address of 192.168.1.33 acts as a Web and FTP server,
configure the ports menu to forward HTTP (port 80) and FTP (port 21) to local address
192.168.1.33
In order for a remote user to access this server from the Internet, the remote user must know the IP
address that has been assigned by your ISP. If this address is 172.16.1.23, for example, users can
access your Web server by directing the browser to http://172.16.1.23. You can view the assigned
IP address in the Maintenance Status screen, where it is shown as the WAN IP Address.
Some considerations for this application are:
• If your account's IP address is assigned dynamically by your ISP, the IP address might change
periodically as the DHCP lease expires.
• If the IP address of the local computer is assigned by DHCP, it might change when the
computer is rebooted. To avoid this, you can manually configure the computer to use a fixed
address.
• Local computers must access the local server using the computers' local LAN address
(192.168.1.33 in this example). Attempts by local computers to access the server using the
external IP address (172.16.1.23 in this example) will fail.

Network Computer Gaming Example

To set up an additional computer to play Half Life, KALI, or Quake III:
1. Click the button of an unused port in the table.
2. Select the game again from the Service Name list.
3. Change the beginning port number in the Start Port field.
For these games, use the supplied number in the default listing and add +1 for each additional
computer. For example, if you have already configured one computer to play Hexen II (using
port 26900), the second computer's port number would be 26901, and the third computer
would be 26902.
4. Type the same port number in the End Port field that you typed in the Start Port field.
5. Type the IP address of the additional computer in the Server IP Address field.
6. Click Apply.
