Set Up the DMZ Host

WARNING! The gaming DMZ host is not protected by the Wi-Fi cable modem firewall. It is
exposed to the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any computer on the
Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ.
You can configure one computer on your home network to be the DMZ Host. That computer
will operate outside of the Wi-Fi cable modem firewall and allow remote access from the
Internet to your computer, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ Host feature
will only allow outside users to have direct access to the designated DMZ Host device and not
your home network.
To create the DMZ Host:
1. From any Wi-Fi cable modem Web Manager screen, click the Firewall main menu button
on the Wi-Fi cable modem Web Manager menu bar.
2. Click DMZ from the Firewall submenu options list to display the DMZ Settings screen.
3. Select the Enable DMZ checkbox to set up the DMZ Host on your home network.
4. Enter the IP address of the computer or gaming device that you are setting up as the DMZ
host.
5. Click Apply, when you are finished.
