specify the servers for applications and you can also specify a default DMZ server to which the router
forwards all other incoming...

local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33.
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.

Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range of ports to a single local computer. Port
triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer when needed and close the ports when they are no
longer needed.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time
communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows
XP), enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). See Improve Network Connections With
Universal Plug and Play on...
