NetComm NB3300 manual DMZ Host, 10 Log

4-9 DMZ Host

The DMZ Host application allows unrestricted 2-way communication between a single LAN computer and other Internet users or servers. This application is useful for supporting special- purpose services such as video-conferencing and gaming, which require proprietary client software and/or unrestricted 2-way user communication. To use this application, you should have a fixed Public IP Address from your ISP.

Note: In order to provide unrestricted access, the Firewall provided by the NetComm ADSL Modem Router to protect this port is disabled, thus creating a potentially serious security risk. It is recommended that this application should be disabled when it is not in use by entering “0” in the “DMZ Host” field.

1.Before setting up a LAN computer to act as a DMZ Host, configure it with a fixed IP Address.

2.In the “One Page Setup” screen, ensure the Private IP Address is set to the NetComm ADSL Modem Router’s default setting of 192.168.1.1. In the Public IP Address area, select “Specify an IP Address”, then enter the IP Address and other necessary information provided by your ISP.

3.Click “DMZ Host” from the Advanced Menu. Enter the fixed IP Address of the Exposed Host computer in the “DMZ Host” IP Address location. Remember, entering “0” will disable this application.

4.Click “Apply”.

4-10 Log

The Log application allows the administrator to trace Internet access. You can send the record to specific LAN computers for remote monitoring, but can also watch the incoming (WAN to LAN) and outgoing (LAN to WAN) traffic in the “Log Settings” page.
