Actiontec DSL Modem User Manual DMZ hosting is used to support online gaming and Internet conferencing services.

Warning: The DMZ Host computer will be vulnerable to computer hackers on the Internet while in DMZ mode. NAT (Network Address Translation) Selecting NAT in the "Security" screen generates the "NAT" screen. The Modem's basic firewall security is based on NAT. Disabling NAT allows the computers connected to the Modem to be accessed by outside parties, and can cause the loss of Internet connectivity. Do not turn NAT off unless instructed to do so by the ISP. When finished, click Apply to save the changes. 40
