Chapter 7 Application & Gaming

Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different

service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use

numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server

allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN

private IP address and its service port number. (See Glossary for an explanation on Port number)

Enable Virtual Service

IP Address

This is the LAN client/host IP address that the Public Port number packet will be sent to.

Note:

You need to give your LAN PC clients a fixed/static IP address for Virtual Server to work properly.

Protocol

Select the port number protocol type (TCP, UDP or both). If you are unsure, then leave it to the default

both protocols.

Port Range

This is the port number (of the above Private IP host) that the below Public Port number will be changed

to when the packet enters your LAN (to the LAN Server/Client IP)
