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”.
