Click any of them, and you will be able toconfigure the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are providedbelow.Virtual servers can be used for setting up public services on your LAN, such as DNS, Email andFTP. A virtual server is defined as a service port, and all requests from the Internet to this serviceport will be redirected to the computer specified by the server IP. Any PC that was used for avirtual server must have a static or reserved IP Address because its IP Addressmay change when using the DHCP function. Port Triggering is used for some applicationsthat cannot work with a pure NAT router, like Internet games, video conferencing, Internet callingand so on, which require multiple connections. The DMZ host feature allows one local host tobe exposed to the Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming orvideoconferencing. DMZ host forwards all the ports at the same time. Any PC whoseport is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and should have a newstatic IP Address assigned to it because itsIP Address may change when using the DHCP function. The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)feature allows the devices, such as Internet computers, to access the local hostresources or devices as needed. UPnP devices can be automatically discoveredby the UPnP service application on the LAN.Figure 5-32 The Forwarding menu
