User's Manual

The DMZ Hosting feature, accessed from the DMZ Host tab as shown in
Figure 5-21, allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a spe-
cial-purpose service such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing.
Whereas Port Range Forwarding can only forward a maximum of ten port
ranges, DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC.
Before using this feature, the DHCP function on the PC whose port is being
exposed must be disabled and have a new static IP address assigned because its
IP address may change when using the DMZ function.
To expose one PC, enter the computer’s IP address. To get the IP address of a
computer, refer to Appendix D: Finding the MAC Address and IP Address for
Your Ethernet Adapter.
Deactivate DMZ by entering a zero in the field.
When finished, click the Apply button to save the settings. Otherwise, click the
Cancel button to undo changes made on this screen.
