Servers
This lists a number of common Server types. If the desired
Server type is not listed, you can create a Firewall Rule to
achieve the same effect as the Virtual Server function.
Properties
Enable
Use this to Enable or Disable support for this Server, as
required.
If Enabled, you must select the PC to which this traffic will be
sent.
PC (Server)
Select the PC for this Server. The PC must be running the
appropriate Server software.
For each entry, the PC must be running the appropri-
ate Server software.
If the desired Server type is not listed, you can define
your own Servers, using the Firewall Rules.
Connecting to the Virtual Servers
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They
must use the Internet IP Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP).
e.g.
It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than
Dynamic. However, you can use the
Dynamic DNS
feature to allow users to connect
to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
