Chapter 10

NAT Forwarding

between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with

all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special

applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ

host.

Note:

DMZ is more applicable in the situation that users are not clear about which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ

host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use, please disable

it in time.

Make the home PC join the internet online game without port

restriction.

For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the

online games, you can log in normally but cannot join a team

with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ

with all ports opened.

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example

192.168.1.100.

2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password

you set for the router.

3. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select the

checkbox to enable DMZ.

4. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.100 in the DMZ Host IP

Address filed.

5. Click Save to save the settings.

The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ

host and now you can make a team to game with other players.
