D-Link DIR-645 User Manual
Section 3 - Software Configuration
Virtual Server
This router can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing Web or FTP services via the public IP address can be automatically
redirected to local servers in the LAN (Local Area Network). The router’s firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect the LAN network
so all computers networked with the router are invisible to the outside world. The user can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the
Internet by enabling Virtual Server.
Depending on the requested service, the router redirects the external
service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The
router is also capable of port-redirection, meaning that incoming traffic
to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server
computer.
Checkbox:
Check the box on the left side to enable the Virtual
Server rule.
Name:
Enter a name for the rule or select an application

IP Address:
Enter the IP address of the computer on your local
network that you want to allow the incoming
service to. If your computer is receiving an IP
address automatically from the router (DHCP),
you computer will be listed in the Computer Name
drop-down menu. Select your computer and click
<<.
