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.
