5.7.4DMZ

If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets from your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) to one particular LAN client/server.

Parameters

Note: If there is a conflict between the Virtual Server and the DMZ setting,

 

the Virtual Server function will have priority over the DMZ function.

you by your ISP.

DMZ to work properly.
