Protecting Your Network

temporarily disable the rule, or you can select the rule and click Delete.

The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing 
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The gateway is programmed to recognize some of 
these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not 
function well. In some cases, one local PC can run the application properly if that PC’s IP address 
is entered as the Default DMZ Host.

Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the gateway unless the traffic is a 
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port 
Forwarding or Port Triggering menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded 
to one computer on your network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Host.

To assign a computer or server to be a DMZ Host, from the Main Menu, under Advanced, select 
DMZ Host. Enter the IP address of the computer you would like to assign as a DMZ Host and click 
Apply. To disable the DMZ Host, enter “0” and click Apply.

If you want the gateway to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, click the ‘Respond to Ping on 
WAN Port’ check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your gateway 
to be discovered. Don't check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Note: For security, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature. When a 
computer is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection of the 
firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the 
computer can be used to attack your network.
