DMZ Hosting

Selecting DMZ Hosting in the “Custom Setup” screen generates the “DMZ Hosting” screen. To use DMZ hosting, enter the IP address of the computer on the network to be used as a DMZ host in the “DMZ Host IP Address” text box, then click On.

DMZ hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet conferencing services. These programs usually require multiple open ports, making the network accessi- ble from the Internet. DMZ hosting symbolically places the DMZ host computer outside of the Router’s network. Access to network resources is unavailable while DMZ hosting is active. Actiontec recommends activating DMZ hosting only as long as necessary.
