If you host a Web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow Web requests 
from anyone on the Internet to reach your Web server. 

To make a local Web server public:

1. Assign your Web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address 

reservation, as explained in 

. In this example, your 

router will always give your Web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33. 

2. In the Port Forwarding screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to the local 

address of your Web server at 192.168.1.33. 
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for Web servers.

3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to 

use the name as described in 

To access your Web server from the Internet, a remote user must know the IP address that has 
been assigned by your ISP. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can 
reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.

Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:

•

More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not 
simultaneously).

•

An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.
