DMZ
In some instances, or when a game console is used, you may opt to place a computer or game console entirely outside the firewall. This can be
done in the so-called “demilitarized zone” (“DMZ”). This option can be found in the main screen of the port settings (“Port Forwarding”) under
(“Advanced”.) Note however, you no longer take advantage of the protection offered by the firewall of the router. All ports to the computer placed
in the DMZ are open. Only a single computer can be placed in the DMZ.
Tick “DMZ” and enter in the “IP address” of the computer you want to place in the DMZ. Click “Apply” to save the settings.
Wait 15 seconds and click “Save” in the top right corner. A small window appears. Confirm by clicking “OK”.
Virtual Server Set-up
1. Under “Rule Name”, enter a random name.
2. Under “Internal Server IP Address”, enter the IP address of the computer for which you want to open these ports.
3. Under “External Port”, enter the port you want to open. Enter the same under “Internal Port”.
4. Click “Add” to save the rule.
5. Wait 15 seconds and click “Save” in the top right corner. A small window appears. Confirm by clicking “OK”.
Repeat the same process to add more rules.
How to assign a fixed IP address to a computer
This is only required for computers for which you want to open ports by means of the Forwarding or DMZ feature. Complete the steps in chapter
“Configuring the computer to connect to the router”. Instead of selecting “Obtain an IP address automatically” select “Use the following IP address”.
The IP address in our example is as follows (192.168.55.xxx). The final number you enter must be unique to your network. We recommend
using a number ranging from 150 to 200. Thus an IP address could be (192.168.55.150). A subsequent computer would then be assigned
(192.168.55.151) etc.
For “Subnetmask” you enter: 255.255.255.0
Both under “Default gateway” and under “Preferred DNS-server” you enter the IP address you use to log into the router. In our example:
192.168.55.1
Under “Alternative-DNS-server”, you can leave the field blank.
Click “OK” twice to save the settings and to close the window.
LAN settings
The network settings, such as the IP address of the router, can be changed by clicking “LAN Setup” left in the column. We recommend maintaining
the default settings.
Changing the password
The standard login of the Sweex Breedband Router can be changed by clicking “Miscs” left in the column and entering your new password under
“Login ID and Password Setup” twice. The default username is “Sweex”. You cannot change that.
