DG834G Reference Manual Setting Up A Default DMZ Server The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The ADSL modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computer's IP address is entered as the Default DMZ Server. Warning: For security reasons, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature. When a computer is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network. Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the ADSL modem router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Server. How to Configure a Default DMZ Server To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server, follow these steps: 1. Log in to the ADSL modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the ADSL modem router. 7-2 Advanced Configuration v3.0, September 2005

v3.0, September 2005
Setting Up A Default DMZ Server
The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with NAT. The ADSL modem router is programmed to
recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other
applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application
properly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the Default DMZ Server.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the ADSL modem router unless the
traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the
Ports menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your
network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Server.
How to Configure a Default DMZ Server
To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server, follow these steps:
1.
Log in to the ADSL modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its
default User Name of
admin
, default password of
password
, or using whatever Password and
LAN address you have chosen for the ADSL modem router.
Warning:
For security reasons, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature.
When a computer is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of
the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the
Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network.
