There are four submenus under the Forwarding menu (shown in Figure 4-24): Virtual Servers,

corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below. 

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. You can set up virtual servers on this page, shown in Figure
