Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be
exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose
service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one PC. The Port Range Forwarding feature is more secure
because it only opens the ports you want to have opened,
while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer,
exposing the computer to the Internet.

DMZ
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP
client function disabled and should have a new static IP
address assigned to it because its IP address may change
when using the DHCP function.
Enabled/Disabled To disable DMZ hosting, select
Disabled. To expose one PC, select Enabled. Then
configure the following settings:
Source IP Address If you want any IP address to be the
source, select Any IP Address. If you want to specify an IP
address or range of IP addresses as the designated source,
select and complete the IP address range fields.
Destination If you want to specify the DMZ host by IP
address, select IP Address and enter the IP address in
the field provided. If you want to specify the DMZ host
by MAC address, select MAC Address and enter the MAC
address in the field provided. To retrieve this information,
click DHCP Client Table.
DMZ > DHCP Client Table
DHCP Client Table
The DHCP Client Table lists computers and other
devices that have been assigned IP addresses by the
Router. The list can be sorted by Client Name, Interface,
IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time (how much
time is left for the current IP address). To select a DHCP
client, click Select. To retrieve the most up-to-date
information, click Refresh. To exit this screen and
return to the DMZ screen, click Close.
