Application (DMZ & Port Forwarding)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be placed outside
of the NAT rewall. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an
application, such as a game or video conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary
basis, as the computer in the DMZ is not protected from attacks by hackers.
The Port Forwarding function is used to forward incoming packets of specic TCP/IP port from
outside to the assigned PC. This function is useful if you have to use VoIP or P2P applications,
or have to operate HTTP or FTP servers from a PC in the internal LAN.
