Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be
placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing
problems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application.
Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT
protected from hacker attacks.
[FW27.tif]
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP field
and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect. If you
are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which WAN IP
address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you wish
the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the DMZ
host computer, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.
Using Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static
host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers, allowing your
network computers to be more easily accessed from various locations on the
Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five host names, free to the
Internet community.
