Using a Special Application on your PC
•
Once the
Special Applications
screen is configured correctly, you can use the
application on your PC normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can use each Special
application at any one time.
•
Also, when 1 PC is finished using a particular Special Application, there may need to
be a "Time-out" period before another PC can use the same Special Application.
•
If an application still cannot function correctly, try using the "DMZ" feature, if possible.

Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address,
your IP address may change whenever you connect to your ISP, which makes it difficult to
connect to you.
You must register for the Dynamic DNS service. The Router supports 3 types of service
providers:

Standard client, available at http://www.dyndns.org
Other sites may offer the same service, but can not be guaranteed to work.
