Answer 1

The short answer is that we cannot answer this. It is very dependant upon what you wish to be doing with your system.



The virtual server page on your specific router addresses advanced features like



FTP (file transfer protocol)

HTTP (web server)

HTTPS (secure web server)



Now if you are installing the router in a home envrionment or in almost all environments where you have a dynamic Public IP address, these features are not activated.



Let's assume you are a business, have a static IP address, and wish to provide FTP to a select group of users so the users can download via FTP large files. Further assume you have set up a server at your LAN static IP address of 192.168.0.10. If this is the case you check the FTP address box, enter teh 192.168.0.10 in the private IP address box, define it as TCP in the next line and if you wish to specify when the FTP is to be available (let's say it is from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) you enter the available hours.



It is my guess that you are not providing any of these types of service and therefore no boxes should be checked.

Answer 2

under Virtual server tab just look for submenu title 'Application' under it write down name of the applicayion or device for eg. if you r running SQL Server on your network write 'SQL SERVER' but if you are using any IP enabled device you can also write down that. Then specify start and End Ports i.e for example SQL Server uses port 84 (and if any IP enabled hardware is there you will have to check out the port no. for that) so write down 84 in both Start and End Port. and then finally specify the IP address of that Machine which hosts the SQL server or the IP Address of the IP Enabled device (such as IP Camera).
