5. 3. 4. DMZ
When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it
is totally exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional
communication between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes
a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to
open in some special applications, such as IP camera and database software, you
can set the PC to be a DMZ host.
Note:
DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is
totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.
I want to:
Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.
For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can
log in normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set
your PC as a DMZ host with all ports opened.
How can I do that?
1.
Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.
2.
Visit
http://mwlogin.net
, and log in with the password you set for the router.
3.
Go to
Advanced
>
NAT Forwarding
>
DMZ
and select
Enable DMZ
.
4.
Click
VIEW CONNECTED DEVICES
and select your PC. The DMZ Host IP
Address will be automatically filled in. Or enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.1.100
