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.
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”.
