SpeedStream Router User Guide
In order for this feature to work effectively, you need to set the host name of each of the hosts running
DHCP. In Windows, this is called “Computer Name” and is set in a variety of places, depending on
the operating system you are running. (Please refer to your Windows documentation or Windows
online Help for specific instructions on designating the computer name.)
Temporary DMZ Settings:
The SpeedStream router allows you to temporarily override the “persistent” DMZ status, which
normally remains the same, either on or off, even after rebooting. This feature was designed to
accommodate certain games and applications that do not work well behind a NAPT router. Usually,
the simplest way to make them work is by directing the router’s DMZ at the computer running the
game. However, you may not Want to always have the game machine set as the DMZ host, since it
might affect security issues. In this case, you would select it as a temporary host. Once the specified
time expires or the router is rebooted, the DMZ will return to the persistent host or disable itself if no
persistent host was selected.
