Chapter 6: Using Advanced Setup

Creating a Virtual Server or a

DMZ

Do I need to create a virtual server or DMZ?

By default, your modem uses NAT to hide your computers from

users on the Internet; however, there may be times when you want

to allow access by outside users to a computer on your network.

For instance, you would want to allow access if a computer in your

network is hosting Internet games or running a web server. For

more information about the Virtual Server/DMZ feature and the

differences between a virtual server and a DMZ, see page 52. For

information about setting up a Virtual Server or DMZ for gaming,

see Setting Up the X6v for Online Gaming on page 47.

Here is a picture of the Virtual Server/DMZ page:
