Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding allows you to redirect a particular public
port to a computer on your LAN network. This helps
you host servers behind the NAT and Firewall.
In the example below, there is a WEB Server running on port 80
on the LAN. For security reasons, the Administrator would like
to provide this server to Internet connection on port 1000.
There is a connection from the Internet on port 1000
and it will be forwarded to the computer with the IP
address 192.168.2.100 and changed to port 80.
