Manually Configuring your Router
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the
IP field and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take
effect. If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to
select which WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in
the WAN IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two
digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, select “Enable” and click
“Apply Changes”.
Blocking an ICMP Ping
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims
on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response
from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest
might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP
ping from the outside. This heightens the level of security of your Router.
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click
“Apply Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.
