Using the Configuration Menu
If you have a client PC that cannot run Internet applications properly from behind the
DI-724U, then you can set the client up for unrestricted Internet access. It allows a
computer to be exposed to the Internet. This feature is useful for gaming purposes.
Enter the IP address of the internal computer that will be the DMZ host. Adding a client
to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security
risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

DMZ:
DMZ means “Demilitarized Zone.” If an application has trouble
working from behind the router, you can expose one computer
to the Internet and run the application on that computer.
Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want
to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer
obtains its address Automatically using DHCP, then you may
want to make a static reservation on the
Home
->
DHCP
page,
so that the IP address of the DMZ machine does not change.
