DMZ
DMZ allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for activities such as Internet
gaming and videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports
at the same time to one computer.
Port Forwarding is more secure
because the user selects specific
ports to open, while DMZ hosting
opens all the ports of one computer,
exposing the computer to the
Internet. Disable the DHCP client
function of the computer whose
port is being forwarded and assign
it a new static IP address assigned
because its IP address may
change when using the DHCP
function. Click
Save Changes
to keep any changes made to the router settings or click
Cancel
to cancel changes.
