DMZ: The DMZ hosting feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a
special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all
unknown ports to one PC on the LAN. Note: DMZ hosting is not secure, as it opens all ports to the
internet.
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, otherwise its IP address may change when using the DHCP
function.
1. To expose one PC, select Enable.
2. Enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.
3. Click the Apply button.
Block WAN Request: By enabling the Block WAN Request feature, you can prevent your network
from being "pinged," or detected, by other Internet users. The Block WAN Request feature also
reinforces your network security by hiding your network ports. Both functions of the Block WAN
Request feature make it more difficult for outside users to work their way into your network. This
feature is enabled by default. Select Disable to disable this feature.
* Check all the settings and click Apply to save them.
