DMZ: The default setting is Disable.
The DMZ hosting feature allows one local user 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 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 so the Internet can see it.
Any PC 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.
1.
To expose one PC, select Enable.
2.
Enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.
3.
Click the Apply button.
