The "DMZ PC" is effectively outside the Firewall, mak-
ing it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason, you
should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
Special Applications
If you use Internet applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers,
you may find that they do not function correctly because they are blocked by the Wire-
less Router's firewall. In this case, you can define the application as a "Special
Application".
The
Special Applications
screen can be reached by clicking the
Special Applications
button on the
Internet
screen.
You can then define your Special Applications. You will need detailed information
about the application; this is normally available from the supplier of the application.
Also, note that the terms "Incoming" and "Outgoing" on this screen refer to traffic from
the client (PC) viewpoint
