4. From the Service drop-down list, select HTTP for a web server.

5. From the Action drop-down list, select ALLOW Always.

6. In the Send to LAN Server field, enter the local IP address of your web server PC

(192.168.1.2 in this example).

7. From the WAN Destination IP Address drop-down list, select the web server. In this

example, the secondary 192.168.55.10 (WAN1) address is shown. You first need to define

this address on the WAN1 Secondary Addresses screen (see Configure Secondary WAN

Addresses on page 41) before you can select it from the WAN Destination IP Address

drop-down list.

8. Click Apply to save your settings. The rule is now added to the Inbound Services table of

the LAN WAN Rules screen.

To test the connection from a PC on the Internet, type http://<IP_address>, in which

<IP_address> is the public IP address that you have mapped to your web server. You should

see the home page of your web server.

LAN WAN or DMZ WAN Inbound Rule: Specifying an Exposed Host

Specifying an exposed host allows you to set up a computer or server that is available to

anyone on the Internet for services that you have not yet defined.

 To expose one of the PCs on your LAN or DMZ as this host:

1. Create an inbound rule that allows all protocols.

2. Place the rule below all other inbound rules. (See an example in the following figure.)

WARNING!

For security, NETGEAR strongly recommends that you avoid

creating an exposed host. When a computer is designated as the

exposed host, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is

exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the

computer can be used to attack your network.
