DMZ Host

The DMZ Host screen lets you enable the DMZ hosting feature, which allows
one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose serv-
ice such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. Whereas port forwarding
can only forward a maximum of ten port ranges, DMZ hosting forwards all the
ports to one PC simultaneously. It is recommended to use Port Forwarding
whenever possible because it is more secure.
Note: Any PC whose ports are being forwarded should have its DHCP
client function disabled and a new static IP address assigned to it
because its IP address may change when using the DHCP client function.
To expose one PC to the Internet:
1. Click the Enable radio button.
2. Enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.
3. To cancel your changes, click the Cancel button. To save your new settings,
click the Apply button. To get more information about the features, click
the Help button.
