DMZ Hosting
Selecting DMZ Hosting in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings”screen gener-
ates the “DMZ Hosting” screen. To use DMZ hosting, enter the IP address of the
computer on the network to be used as a DMZ host in the “DMZ Host IP Address”
text box, then click On.
DMZ hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet conferencing services.
These programs usually require multiple open ports, making the network accessi-
ble from the Internet. DMZ hosting symbolically places the DMZ host computer
outside of the Modem’s network. Access to network resources is unavailable while
DMZ hosting is active. Actiontec recommends activating DMZ hosting only as long
as necessary.
