Thomson Gateway.
±
This device is running server applications (Web server, ...) and you want it to be accessible from the
Internet.
±
This device has to be considered as the unique access point to your local network (DMZ).
Proceed as follows:
1
In the
Pick a task
list, click
Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device
.
2
Click the
Edit
link of your Internet connection.
3
In the
Device
list, select the device you want to assign the public address to and click
Apply
.
4
Release and renew the IP address of the device.
You can also achieve this by creating a port mapping for the specified server, as described in
”6.3.2 Game & Application Sharing” on page 59

Be aware that the device to which you assign the public IP address will lose all security offered by
the Thomson Gateway.
