DMZ Host

The DMZ (De-militarized Zone) Host page allows you to configure a network device (e.g.

a PC) to be exposed or visible directly to the Internet. This may be used if an application

doesn’t work with port triggers. If you have an application that won’t run properly behind

the NAT firewall, you can configure it for unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining

it as a virtual DMZ host. Adding a client to the DMZ may expose your local network to

various security risks because the client is not protected, so use this option as a last

resort.

To access the

DMZ Host

page:

1

Click the

Router

menu tab.

2

Then click the

Advanced

/

DMZ Host

submenu.

Figure 21 shows an example of the menu.

To configure DMZ settings:

1

Enter the last byte of the LAN IP address of the PC or other device on your network

that you want to configure as a DMZ host.

2

Click

Apply

.

Note:

If a specific PC is set as a DMZ Host, remember to set this back to “0” when

finished with the needed application, since this PC will be effectively exposed to the

public Internet.

Note:

You may need to assign your DMZ host a static IP address on your LAN to

insure that it will always be at that address.

DDNS

The DDNS page allows you to make use of a DDNS server. Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

allows a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static, pre-defined host name so that the

host can be easily contacted by other hosts on the internet even if its IP address

changes. This means you can host a server on your LAN that can be accessed from

anywhere on the Internet.

Caution:

Some service providers may consider connection of such a server to be a

breach of your service agreement.

The Cable Modem/Router supports a dynamic DNS client compatible with the Dynamic

DNS service (

http://www.dyndns.com/

). You must sign up with this service if you want to

use it.

To access the

DDNS

page:

1

Click

Router

in the menu tab.

2

Then click the

Advanced/DDNS

submenu.

To activate the DDNS client:

1

Go to the DynDNS website and create an account for the

Dynamic DNS

service.

2

You will create a

username

and

password

, and be asked to choose a

host name

for your server, and the dynamic DNS domain to which your host will be assigned.

3

You will also be asked for your host’s current

IP address

. This is the WAN IP

address that has been assigned to your Cable Modem/Router during provisioning.

(See WAN IP Address on the Router tab, Basic/My Network page)

4

Enter your account information on the Advanced / DDNS web page, enable the

service by selecting www.DynDNS.org from the

DDNS Service

drop-down list, and

click

Apply

.

5

The DDNS client will notify the DDNS service whenever the WAN IP address

changes so that your chosen host name will be resolved properly by inquiring hosts.

The current status of the service is shown at the bottom of the DDNS web page.
