The Networking – NAT screen allows you to add another level of security to your Internet
activity and online games. Network Address Translation (NAT) translates the multiple IP
addresses on a private LAN to one public address that is sent out to the Internet by your
ISP. This means the addresses of the PCs on your home network are never transmitted on
the Internet.
The Networking – NAT screen also allows you to enable a gaming Demilitarized Zone
(DMZ), which allows only one IP address (for a computer or device) to be exposed to the
Internet for online game playing or video conferencing.
To access the screen, click Networking > NAT.
Field Description
NAT Enables or disables NAT. The default is enabled.
Gaming DMZ
Device
Click to enable. The default is disabled.
My Gaming
Device
Enter the IP Address for your gaming device. The default is disabled.
For security purposes, turn off your gaming device when not in use so
that it does not become the target of intrusion.
TCP Session Idle
Time
Enter the TCP Session Idle Time which is the amount of time a TCP
session will remain idle before timing out. The default is 8 hours.
UDP Session Idle
Time
Enter the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Session Idle Time, which is
the amount of time a UDP session will remain idle before timing out.
UPD is used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network.
User Datagram Protocol, along with the IP, sends data in the form of
message units (datagram) between network devices over a LAN or
WAN. The default is 8 hours.
