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 computer. 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.

DMZ
Any computer 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.
Enabled/Disabled To disable DMZ hosting, select
Disabled. To expose one computer, select Enabled. Then
configure the following settings:
Source IP Address If you want any IP address to be the
source, select Any IP Address. If you want to specify an IP
address or range of IP addresses as the designated source,
select and complete the IP address range fields.
Destination If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP
address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in
the field provided. If you want to specify the DMZ host
by MAC address, select MAC Address and enter the MAC
address in the field provided. To retrieve this information,
click DHCP Client Table.
