all interfaces by un-checking the "Enable Firewall and NAT Service"

4.7.5.1 DMZ configuration

redirected to another computer via the port-forwarding feature to the computer's IP address.
This opens the access to the DMZ computer from the Internet.
4.7.5.2 Enable Remote Web
Enabling the Remote Web on your local network allows Web requests that come from the
Internet to be re-routed to a Web Server that is on a different subnet. This is different that the
Web server rule that is configurable via the port-forwarding page. In this case, the web server
is on a different subnet.
