of the computer that sends the matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when the requested data
returns through the Router, the data is pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address and port
mapping rules.

The Applications & Gaming Tab - DMZ
The
DMZ
screen allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as
Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The
Port Range Forwarding 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.
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 because its IP address may change when using the DHCP function.
