10.3. 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.
Therefore then there is a connection from the
Internet on port 1000, it will be forwarded to the
computer with the IP address 192.168.0.100 and
changed to port 80.
