NETGEAR Wireless Cable Gateway 

DMZ Host

You can use the DMZ Host screen to set up a default DMZ computer. Specifying a default 
DMZ computer allows you to set up a PC that is available to anyone on the Internet for 
services that you have not defined. There are security issues with doing this, so only set up 
the DMZ host if you are willing to risk open access. If you do not define a DMZ host the 
gateway discards any undefined service requests.

1. 

Select 

Advanced > DMZ Host

2. 

If desired, select the 

Respond to Ping on WAN Port

 checkbox.

3. 

Type the last digit(s) of the IP address in the 

DMZ Address

 field.

4. 

Click 

Apply

.

LAN IP Setup

The LAN IP screen allows you to configure LAN services such as the IP address of the 
gateway and DHCP. The TCP/IP and DHCP default values work fine in most cases. 

Note:  

If you disable the DHCP server, you will need to assign to your 

computer a static IP address to reconnect to the gateway and enable 
the DHCP server again.
