DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use
of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ
hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port Range
Forwarding feature 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.
Path: Applications and Gaming > DMZ
Any computer 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.
DMZ—To disable DMZ hosting, keep the default, Disabled. To expose one PC,
select Enabled.
DMZ IP Address—Enter the IP address of the computer.
