9.6 Firewall – DMZ Settings
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be placed outside of
the NAT firewall. This may be necessary if the NAT feature is causing problems with an
application such as a game or video conferencing application.
Use this feature only on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is not protected from
hacker attacks.
To put a computer in the DMZ, click the Enable DMZ checkbox enter its IP address, and click the
Apply button.
IP Address Of Virtual DMZ Host:

WAN IP – Displays the public IP address.
Private IP – Enter the IP address of the computer to be placed in the DMZ. Be sure that the
address is not in the range of addresses delivered by the DHCP server if enabled. After placing
the computer in the DMZ, all ports on the computer are open to the Internet and not protected.
