Applications and Gaming Tab DMZ, UPnP Forwarding | Linksys WRT54GX

Wireless-G Broadband Router with SRX

The Applications and Gaming Tab - DMZ

The DMZ feature allows one network user 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 PC. The Port Range Forward 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.

Any PC 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.

To expose one PC, select Enable. Then, enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.

Change these settings as described here and click the Save Settings button to apply your changes or Cancel Changes to cancel your changes.

The Applications and Gaming Tab - UPnP Forwarding

The UPnP Forwarding screen provides options for customization of port services for applications. Make sure that you have UPnP enabled on your computer to use UPnP Forwarding.
