5.6.3 Assign Public IP
Introduction On this page you can assign the public IP address of your Internet Connection(s) to a specific device on your local network. You might want to do this if:
You do not want to use the Network Address Translation engine of your
SpeedTouch™.
This device is running server applications (Web server,...) and you want it to be accessible from the Internet.
You can also achieve this by creating a port mapping for the specified server, as described in “5.5.5 Game & Application Sharing” on page 76.
This device has to be considered as the unique access point to your local network (DMZ).
! | Be aware that the device to which you assign the public IP address will lose |
all security offered by the SpeedTouch™. |
