X-Micro Tech WLAN 11g user manual To Designate a PC in Your Network as a DMZ Host

5.6 DMZ Host

On the DMZ Host page, you can expose one or more client PCs in your network to the Internet. It is often used for online games that require unstricted two-way communications.

The total number of DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) hosts you can have depends on how many Global Addresses you have configured on the Global Address page. For example, if you have defined 5 Global Addresses (including the default IP), you are limited to 5 DMZ hosts. Since the maximum number of Global Addresses is 8, the total number of DMZ hosts you can configure is also 8.

Caution :

Once a PC in your network is designated as DMZ host, it will not have any firewall protection.
