Single Port Forwarding
The Single Port Forwarding screen allows you to set up public services on your
network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized
Internet applications. (Specialized Internet applications are any applications that use
Internet access to perform functions such as video conferencing or online gaming.
Some Internet applications may not require any forwarding.)
When users send these types of requests to your network via the Internet, the
Gateway will forward those requests to the appropriate servers (computers). Before
using forwarding, you should assign static IP addresses to the designated servers.
Path:
Applications & Gaming > Single Port Forwarding
To forward a port, enter the information on each line for the criteria required.

DMZ
The DMZ feature allows one network computer to be exposed to the Internet for use
of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing. DMZ
hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. 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 Internet.
Path:
Applications and Gaming > DMZ
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.
DMZ

To disable DMZ hosting, keep the default,
Disabled
. To expose one PC,
select
Enabled
.
DMZ IP Address
—
Enter the IP address of the computer.
