DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network user to be exposed to
the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Inter-
net gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all
the ports at the same time to one computer. 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 In-
ternet.
Any computer 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
