DMZ Host

The DMZ (De-militarized Zone) Host page allows you to configure a network device (e.g.

a PC or gaming system) to be visible directly to the Internet. This may be used if a game

doesn’t work with port triggers or if you are using a gaming system, where security is less

of a concern.

To set up a DMZ for your gaming system, you should first assign your gaming system a

static IP address. Normally the Cable Modem/Router handles assigning IP addresses

to the different devices on your network using DHCP. However DHCP does not

guarantee that your device will always get assigned the same IP address. The DMZ

needs to know the IP address of your gaming system to work, if the IP address changes

the DMZ will not work. Because your IP address could change over time you need to

assign a static IP on your gaming system. To setup a static IP address on your gaming

system, please refer to your gaming system’s documentation. If you no longer have the

documentation that came with your gaming system it usually can be found online.

When assigning a static IP address to your gaming system you should select an address

that is outside the IP addresses assigned by the Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server.

By default the DHCP Server assigns addresses from 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.255.

We recommend using 192.168.0.5 as the static IP address for your gaming system.

To setup a DMZ for your gaming system:

1 Follow the instructions for your gaming system to assign a static IP address. We

recommend using 192.168.0.5.

2 Next access the Cable Modem/Routers configuration menu by launching a Web

browser on a computer that is directly connected to one of the router’s LAN ports.

3 In the browser address bar, type http://192.168.0.1 and press the Enter key.

4 In the Login screen, enter:

default username: admin

default password: admin

Both the username and password are case sensitive. The default username and

password are printed on the bottom label of your unit.

5 Click the Login button to access the Cable Modem/Router. The Status page

appears.

6 Click Advanced in the menu bar.
