Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to
be placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall
is causing problems with an application such as a game or video
conferencing application. Use this feature on a temporary basis.
The computer in the DMZ is NOT protected from hacker attacks.
To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the
IP field and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take
effect. If you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to
select which WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in
the WAN IP address you wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two
digits of the IP address of the DMZ host computer, select “Enable” and
click “Apply Changes”.
Using Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address
to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers,
allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from various
locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five
host names, free to the Internet community.
The Dynamic DNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to
make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at
work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to
your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. When your IP
address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by
visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!
