Advanced DMZ Host Page
Specify the default recipient of WAN traffic that NAT is unable to translate to a known local computer.
The DMZ (De-militarized Zone) is a computer or small subnetwork located outside the firewall, between
the trusted internal private LAN and the untrusted public Internet, that prevents direct access by
outside users to private data.
For example, you can set up a web server on a DMZ computer to enable outside users to access your
website without exposing confidential data on your network.
A DMZ is also useful to play interactive games that may have a problem running through a firewall. You
can leave a computer used for gaming only exposed to the Internet while protecting the rest of your
network.
You can configure one computer to be the DMZ host. This setting is generally used for computers
using problem applications that use random port numbers and do not function correctly with specific
port triggers or the port forwarding setups. If you set up a computer as a DMZ Host, set this back to
zero when you are finished with the needed application, since this computer will be effectively exposed
to the public Internet, though still protected from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks via the Firewall.
Setting Up the DMZ Host
1. Enter the IP address for the computer.
2. Click Apply to activate the selected computer as the DMZ host.
