Settings for E-mail and HTTP/FTP Server
When the NAT option is turned on, only the DSL LAN Extender
CP device’s main IP address is
presented to the outside world. If you have an E-mail or HTTP/FTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol/File
Transfer Protocol) server connected to a DSL LAN Extender
CP device, this anonymity prevents
computers outside the local network from accessing the information on this server. If you are using the
NAT option and want computers outside the local network to be able to access your E-mail or Web/FTP
server, you can specify the server’s IP address in the E-mail or HTTP/FTP Server’s IP address field. This
allows computers outside the local network to access information on the server.
If the NAT option is turned off, you can use a public IP address assigned by your ISP for your E-mail or
HTTP/FTP server, and point their default gateway to the main IP address of the CP device.
If the NAT option is enabled, you can use private IP addresses for all the computers (including E-mail
and HTTP/FTP servers) on the local LAN as long as they are in the same subnet as the NAT IP address.
All of these computers have to point their default gateway to the NAT IP address of the CP device.
