2.6.1 Port Forwarding

The Port Forwarding allows you to re-direct a particular range of service
port numbers (from the Internet/WAN Ports) to a particular LAN IP address.
It help you to host some servers behind the router NAT firewall.
You can have different services (e.g. email,
FTP, Web etc.) going to different service
servers/clients in your LAN. The Virtual
Server allows you to re-direct a particular
service port number (from the Internet/WAN
Port) to a particular LAN IP address and its
service port number.
Some applications require multiple
connections, such as Internet games, video
conferencing, Internet telephony and others.
In this section you can configure the router to
support these types of applications.
It allows to Enable or Disable UPnP feature
here. After you enable the UPnP feature, all
client systems that support UPnP, like
Windows XP, can discover this router
automatically and access the Internet through
this router without any configuration. The NAT
Traversal function provided by UPnP can let
applications that support UPnP smoothly
connect to Internet sites without any
incompatibility problem due to the NAPT port
translation.
You can select special applications that need
"Application Layer Gateway" to support here.
You can disable NAT function and setup the
routing rules manually.
