Configuring the router
CONFIGURING THE DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications correctly from behind
the router, then you can set the client up for unrestricted Internet access.
Unrestricted access allows a computer to be exposed to the Internet (useful for
gaming). Enter the IP address of the internal computer that will be the DMZ host.
Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to
a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.
To configure the DMZ:
1 Access the Configuration menu by following the instructions in To access
the Web-based configuration utility: on page 13.
2 Click the
Advanced tab, then the DMZ button. The DMZ screen opens.
3 Click one of the following:
•
Enabled—Enables the DMZ
•
Disabled—Disables the DMZ
4 Enter the following, as appropriate:
Field Description
