If incoming traffic was not routed as a result of the above:
§
If DMZ is enabled, then incoming traffic is routed to the computer that uses the IP
address specified by the DMZ settings.
§
If DMZ is not enabled, the incoming traffic is blocked.
Note:
Putting a computer in the DMZ opens all the ports of that computer, and exposes that
computer to various security risks. Use this option only as a last resort — if possible, use other
options instead (for example, port forwarding).
