DMZ Host
You can use the DMZ Host screen to set up a default DMZ computer. Specifying a default
DMZ computer allows you to set up a PC that is available to anyone on the Internet for
services that you have not defined. There are security issues with doing this, so only set up
the DMZ host if you are willing to risk open access. If you do not define a DMZ host the
gateway discards any undefined service requests.

LAN IP Setup
The LAN IP screen allows you to configure LAN services such as the IP address of the
gateway and DHCP. The TCP/IP and DHCP default values work fine in most cases.
Note:
If you disable the DHCP server, you will need to assign to your
computer a static IP address to reconnect to the gateway and enable
the DHCP server again.
