The DMZ hosting feature allows one local user to be exposed to the
Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or
videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to
one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens
the ports you want to have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports
of one computer, exposing the computer so the Internet can see it.
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client
function disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it
because its IP address may change when using the DHCP
function.
