DNS stands for Domain Name System. Every Internet
host. must have a unique IP address, also they may have a
human friendly, easy to remember name such as
www.yahoo.com. The DNS server converts the human
friendly name into it’s equivalent IP address.
Sets the IP address of the primary DNS server.
Sets the IP address of the secondary DNS server.
Virtual Server
“Natural firewall” allows requests for Internet access from the local network. However, any request from
the Internet to the local network is blocked. By setting the Virtual Server function, computers outside
the Intranet are allowed to access specific ports of local client. The Virtual Server Port Table may be
used to expose internal servers to the public domain or open a specific port number to internal hosts.
Internet hosts can use the WAN IP address to access internal network services, such as FTP, WWW,
and Telnet etc.
How to set a Virtual Server
The following example shows how an internal FTP server is exposed to the public domain. The internal
FTP server is running on the local host addressed as 192.168.0.100.
