DMZ
DMZ allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-
purpose service such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ hosting
forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Range Forwarding is
more secure because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ
hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function
disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP
address may change when using the DHCP function.
STEP 1 Click Network Setup on the tab and then click DMZ in the navigation pane. The
DMZ page appears.
STEP 2 If you want to allow DMZ hosting, use the default setting, Enabled. Otherwise,
select Disabled.
STEP 3 Specify the source IP addrress and the destination IP address or MAC address.
STEP 4 Click Submit to save your settings.
