The DWL-G730AP firewall feature filters out unrecognized packets to protect your LAN network so all computers networked with the DWL-G730AP are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of the LAN computers accessible from the Internet by enabling Virtual Server. Depending on the requested service, the DWL-G730AP redirects the external service request to the appropriate server within the LAN network. The DWL-G730AP is also capable of port-redirection meaning incoming traffic to a particular port may be redirected to a different port on the server computer. Each virtual service that is created will be listed at the bottom of the screen in the Virtual Servers List. There are pre-defined virtual services already in the table. You may use them by enabling them and assigning the server IP to use that particular virtual service. 41 Using the Configuration Utility in Router Mode (continued) Advanced > Virtual Server (continued) Virtual ServerNamePrivate IPProtocol TypePrivate PortPublic PortSelect Enabled or Disabled.
