Chapter 5 Advanced Settings Virtual Server In some situations you might want users on the Internet to be able to access servers on your LAN, such as an email serv- er or a Web server. Access is accomplished by creating “virtual servers.” Each virtual server has its own IP address and shares a single public IP address.
Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, Internet telephony and oth- ers.These applications cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections,-specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
