      I'm trying to setup external access using one of our BT Business Static IP Addresses to forward to an internal IP Address of our BMS system webpage.

      Please can someone point me in the right direction, I've not setup this kind of configuration before.

      I understand that it's a Virtual IP and NAT setting that are required.

      Many thanks.

      Nigel.

        Test from WAN, not LAN!
