The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack
networks� These ports appear to be “stealth”, meaning that for all intents
and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker� You can turn
the firewall function off if needed; however, while disabling the firewall
protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker
attacks, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled�
Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings
The “Virtual servers” function will allow you to route external (internet)
calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21),
or other applications through your router to your internal network� since
your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside
your network (over the internet) cannot get to them because they cannot
be “seen�” You will need to contact the application vendor to find out which
port settings you need�
