| Q25: How to use Virtual Server in ADSL/Broadband Router? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A:Virtual
Server feature allows Internet users to access standard Servers
on your LAN, via the Internet IP Sharer. Normally, Internet users
would not be able to access a server on your LAN because your Server
does not have a valid external IP Address. Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to access to your servers. However, your LAN must have an existing connection to the Internet. We can divide Virtual Server in two types. One is Port Forwarding Virtual Server. There are some standard service ports for most popular applications.
The other one is NAT Virtual Server mapping. If your ADSL account within multi-real IP Addresses then Multi-Global IP mapping function is a useful feature for Internet application. The Multi-Global IP mapping function helps you dividing the client PCs on the LAN into several groups and each group access Internet through one real IP Address. You also can set single local IP Address map to single Global IP Address. Thus it empowers the management and provides much wider application over ADSL line. |

| Q26: Why Broadband Router always has problem under Cable connection but not ADSL connection? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| A:For ADSL, one subscriber shares one line. If your ISP provides you a 512K account then you can enjoy the full 512Kbps on your side. But Cable is different. Many subscribers share the same line. For example, the bandwidth of Cable is 1.5Mbps. If there are 25 users access Internet at the same time then the bandwidth of each user is 1500K/25 near 60K. The speed is just like the traditional modem connection. If there are only 5 users on line at this moment then each user can share the bandwidth to nearly 300K (1500K/5). So, the speed over ADSL is more stable than Cable. The access will hang up when the traffic is heavy over the Cable. It is the reason why many problems only happen over Cable. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Q27: How to use the fixed IP address on a computer running Windows XP | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
