DMZ

If an application has trouble working from behind the

router, you can expose one computer to the Internet

and run the application on that computer.

Note:

Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that

computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option

is only recommended as a last resort.

Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that

you want to have unrestricted Internet communication.

If this computer obtains it’s IP address automatically

using DHCP, be sure to make a static reservation on the

Setup

>

Network Settings

page so that the IP address

of the DMZ machine does not change.
