UPnP Forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. When users from the Internet make certain requests on your network, the Router can forward those requests to computers equipped to handle the requests. If, for example, you set the port number 80 (HTTP) to be forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.2, then all HTTP requests from outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.1.2. It is recommended that the computer use static IP address.

You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway. In this format, Windows XP can be used to configure this through UPnP communication.  Be sure that you enter a valid IP Address. (You may need to establish a static IP address with your ISP in order to properly run an Internet server.)
