Set Up a Default DMZ Server

WARNING:

For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.

The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.

Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.

To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server:

1.Log in to the router as described in Log In to Your Router on page 17.

2.From the main menu, select Advanced > Miscellaneous.

3.Select the Default DMZ Server check box.

4.Type the IP address for that server.

5.Click Apply to save your changes.
