- Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games)

properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions

to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function

allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular

IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ

function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application

(e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all

packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN

client/server.
