Step 2: Setting Up a Virtual

Server or DMZ

You set up either a virtual server or a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

so that the modem’s firewall won’t block the other players from

your system during your gaming. The main difference between the

virtual server and the DMZ is the amount of access someone has

to your system.

A virtual server will allow access to your computer on certain ports.

A port is like a channel that is used by applications (such as games)

to communicate on. For example, the directions for the game you

want to play over the Internet might tell you to open up port 6000.

A DMZ differs from a virtual server in that it allows access on all

ports to the computer. Because of this, DMZ's are less secure than

virtual servers and should be used with caution on your computer.

For Xbox® Live and Playstation®2, a DMZ is OK since security is

not as much of an issue as it is for your computer.

If you are playing a

peer-to-peer

on

your computer, go to

Setting Up a Virtual Server or DMZ on

Your Computer

Note:

If you have third-party firewall software, such as the Windows XP

firewall, installed on your computer, you may need to deactivate it

before setting up the virtual server or DMZ. Otherwise your

computer may block the ports you want to open.

Make the following entries:

Setting

Values

IP Address

Enter the

IP address

that you specified on

the

page.

Transport

Type

(Protocol)

If you know your protocol (udp

or

tcp)

and port number(s) from your game

instructions, select the protocol from the

list.

If you do not know your protocol or port

number(s)

, you need to set up your

computer as a DMZ by selecting

DMZ

from the

Protocol

list. This will open up all

ports on the computer to all

communication over the Internet.

Warning

: Setting up a DMZ removes the

protection provided by the ADSL

Ethernet’s firewall. We therefore

recommend that a DMZ be used only when

necessary.

Ports

If you designated your computer as a

DMZ

, you do not have to enter anything

here.

If you are playing another peer-to-peer

or multi-player game

, your game

instructions should tell you what ports to

enter here. To enter a number, you must

enter

tcp

or

udp

in the

Protocol

box.

If you need to enter multiple ports, add a

new virtual server for each port. If you have

several ports to enter, you may wish to set

up your PC as a DMZ.

The highest supported port number is

65535.
