Opening the firewall for particular PCs (DMZ)

Some applications do not work properly behind a firewall because they require

unrestricted data flow in both directions. In this case you can define a so-called

demilitarised zone (

DMZ

) for PCs running such applications.

In the Firewall menu, select DMZ.

The Public IP address has as the first entry the router's

Public IP address

. If you have

other public IP addresses, enter them under the router address.

In Client PC IP address enter the IP addresses of the PCs you want to exclude from

the firewall functions.

To apply the settings click on APPLY.

i

When setting up DMZ PCs make sure that the PCs always have the same

IP address. This means:

the IP addresses must be static (see "Practical Tips and Configuration

Examples") or

the Lease time for dynamic address assignment must be set to

Forever (see page 69).

!

Please bear in mind that these PCs are no longer protected against

unauthorised access from the Internet and as such could be a security

risk for your network. You should use this option only in emergency

situations.
