When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Port forwarding can be used with DHCP assigned addresses but remember that a DHCP address is dynamic (not static). For example, if you were configuring a Netmeeting server, you would want to assign this server a static IP address so that the IP address is not reassigned. Also remember that if an Internet user is trying to access an Internet application, they must use the WAN IP address. The port forwarding will translate the WAN IP address into a LAN IP address. To configure a service, game, or other application select the external connection (for example the Internet connection), from the Home screen, click Advanced and under Advanced, select Port Forwarding. [. . . ] However, in some cases, you can allow incoming connections so that you can run programs like a web server. Your ISP provides you with a single network address for you to access the Internet through. However, you may have several machines on your local network that want to access the Internet at the same time. The router provides NAT functionality that converts your local network addresses to the single network address provided by your ISP. [. . . ]
