The DMZ
hosting feature allows one local PC or device to be exposed to the
Internet to provide 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.
