3.4.5 DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from
behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by
defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port
IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the
DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP,
websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of
services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
