Wireless-G Broadband Router with SpeedBooster
Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
The
Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
screen allows
the Router to watch outgoing data for specific port
numbers. The IP address of the computer that sends the
matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when
the requested data returns through the Router, the data is
pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address
and port mapping rules.

Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be
exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one computer. The Port Range Forward feature is more
secure because it only opens the ports you want to have
opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one
computer, exposing the computer to the Internet.
Applications and Gaming > DMZ
DMZ
Any computer whose port is being forwarded must have
its DHCP client function disabled and should have a new
static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may
change when using the DHCP function.
To expose one computer, select
Enable
. Then, enter the
computer’s IP address in the
DMZ Host IP Address
field. This
feature is disabled by default.
