DMZ Host
The DMZ Host setting allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet to
use a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or Video-conferencing.
To expose one computer, enter the computer’s IP address and click the Apply
button. Inactivate DMZ by entering a zero.
2. Enter the following data to create a new static route:
Destination LAN IP The Destination LAN IPis the Address of the remote
network or host to which you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP
address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. If you
are building a route to an entire network, be sure that the network portion
of the IPaddress is set to zero. For example, the Router’s standard IP
address is 192.168.1.1. Based on this address, the address of the network
to which the Router is connected is 192.168.1, with the last digit (1, in
this case) determining the Router’s place on the network. Therefore you
would enter the IPaddress 192.168.1.0 if you wanted to route to the
Router’s entire network, rather than just to the Router.
Network Mask The Network Mask (also known as the Subnet Mask)
determines which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and
which portion is the host portion. In the example above, the Network
Mask is 255.255.255.0. This determines (by using the values 255) that the
first three numbers of an network IP address identify this par ticular net-
work, while the last digit (from 1 to 254) would identify the specific host.
Gateway IP This IP address should be the IPaddress of the gateway
device that allows for contact between the Router and the remote network
or host.
