Forwarding is more secure because you select the ports you want

opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer,

exposing the computer to the Internet. You should disable the DHCP

client function of the computer whose port is being forwarded and

assign it a new static IP address assigned because its IP address may

change when using the DHCP function. Click
