Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device in the local network.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 10. 1. Share Local Resources in the Internet by Virtual Server When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the internet, Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the internet users. At the same time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the internet. Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 4. Click View Existing Services, and choose HTTP. The external port, internal port and protocol will be auto-populated. Enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.1.100 in the Internal IP field. 5. Click OK to save the settings. Done! Note: 1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and protocol to use. 2.

Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Note: DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time. I want to: Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.
Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Tips: 1. UPnP is enabled by default in this router. 2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature. 3.
