3.4 How To Set Up a DMZ

If you are playing a game or using an application that requires a

specific port or ports to be open, go to page 19 for instructions

on setting up a Virtual Server. A virtual server can have a

maximum of 20 ports open.

If you need more than 20 ports open, or you don’t know which

ports to open (some games or applications like NetMeeting use

“dynamic” ports, meaning that the ports used by the game are

constantly changing, so it is not possible to set specific ports), you

have to set up what is called a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone).

To set up a DMZ, you need to make all four of the settings in the

chart below. You make these settings on the computer where you

set up the DMZ, no matter whether the computer is a Windows,

Macintosh, or Linux computer.

Important! If your computer already has firewall software

installed: If you have third-party firewall software installed on

your computer, such as the Windows XP firewall, you may need

to deactivate it before opening ports by setting up a virtual server

or a DMZ. If you don’t, your computer may block the ports you

are trying to open.

IP address 10.0.0.16 (see

Step 1 below)

or Name server

Click on the Zoom X5v icon on your desktop (or type 10.0.0.2 in

your Web browser just the way you would normally type a web

address) to get to the X5v’s Main Page. Click the Advanced

Setup icon, then click LAN Settings. There you will see the

starting and ending range of the X5v’s dynamic (DHCP) LAN IP
