UPNP Forward |
UPnP Forward 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 192.168.15.2, then all HTTP requests from
outside users will be forwarded to 192.168.15.2. 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.) For added security,
Internet users will be able to communicate with the server, but they will
not actually be connected. The packets will simply be forwarded through
the Router.
To add a server using forwarding:
- Enter an Application name
of the service you want to forward.
- Enter the Ext.Port number. Check with
your service application needed for External Port used.
- Select the Protocol used by the
services.
- Enter the Int.Port number used by the
application.
- Enter the IP Address of the server
that you want the Internet users to access.
- Select Enable for
that entry.
- Click the Save Settings
button to save the settings.
To delete a service entry:
- Enter a zero number in the
Ext.Port and Int. Port, and IP
Address from the fields.
- Uncheck the Enable check box.
- Clear the Application field.
- Click the Save Settings button to save
any changes you make.
