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.

DMZ > DHCP Client Table

DHCP Client Table

The DHCP Client Table lists computers and other devices that have been assigned IP addresses by the Router. The list can be sorted by Client Name, Interface, IP Address, MAC Address, and Expires time (how much time is left for the current IP address). To select a DHCP client, click Select. To update the onscreen information, click Refresh. To exit this screen and return to the DMZ screen, click Close.

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to clear your changes.
