Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer 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 Range 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 to the Internet .
Applications and Gaming > DMZ

configure the following settings:
Source IP Address

address or range of IP addresses as the designated source,

address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in
the field provided . If you want to specify the DMZ host
