The DMZ feature allows you to forward all incoming ports to one computer on the local network. The DMZ, or Demilitarized Zone, will allow the specified computer to be exposed to the Internet. DMZ is useful when a certain application or game does not work through the firewall. The computer that is configured for DMZ will be completely vulnerable on the Internet, so it is suggested that you try opening ports from the Virtual Server or Firewall settings before using DMZ.

Depending on the D-Link router models, divided into the following set of several.

1.DI-514, DI-524, DI-604, DI-614+, DI-624 OR
DI-704P (revB), DI-704P (revC), DI-704UP, DI-707P, DI-714P+, DI-754, DI-764, DI-774, DI-784

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (leave blank).

Step 2: Click the Advanced tab and then click on the DMZ button.

Step 3: Select Enable and type in the IP address of the computer you want to use as DMZ host.

Step 4: Click Apply and then Continue to save the changes.

2.For the DI-704, DI-704P (revA), DI-707, DI-711 (revA), DI-713, and DI-713P:

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (leave blank). If you have only 1 box, enter admin.

Step 2: At the bottom, click Advanced and then click Misc Items.

Step 3: Type in the IP address of the computer you want to use as DMZ host. Click the box to enable DMZ.

Step 4: Click Save and then Yes when prompted to reboot router.

For D-Link DI-514, DI-524, DI-604, DI-614+, DI-624, DI-704P (rev. B & C), DI-704UP, DI-707P, DI-714P+, DI-754, DI-764, DI-774, and DI-784:

You can stealth ports on any D-Link router by forwarding traffic for a particular port to an invalid IP on your LAN.

For example, if you want to stealth port 125, go to the Virtual Server from the web management on your router and map port 113 to 192.168.0.250, or another IP address not in use on your local network.

Note: When stealthing port 113, certain programs like Mirc and ICQ may not work.

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 2: Click on Advanced on top and then click Virtual Server on the left side.

Step 3: Make a new entry:

• Click Enabled
• Enter name (stealth113)
• For Private IP, enter an IP address not on your network (ie 192.168.0.250)
• Select TCP for Protocol Type
• Enter 113 for both Private and Public Ports
• Select Always
• Click Apply and then Continue to save changes.

To allow traffic from the internet to enter your local network, you will need to open up ports or the router will block the request.

Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specific port or ports to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer and then open port 81 to the other computer.

For the DI-514, DI-524, DI-604, DI-614+, DI-624, DI-704P (revC), DI-704UP, DI-754, DI-764, DI-774, and DI-784:

Step 1: Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your D-Link router (192.168.0.1). Enter username (admin) and your password (blank by default).

Step 2: Click on the Advanced tab at the top and then click Virtual Server on the left side.

Step 3: Check Enabled to activate entry.

Step 4: Enter a name for your virtual server entry.

Step 5: Next to Private IP, enter the IP address of the computer on your local network that you want to allow the incoming service to.

Step 7: Enter the port information next to Private Port and Public Port. The private and public ports are usually the same. The public port is the port seen from the WAN side, and the private port is the port being used by the application on the computer within your local network.

Step 8: Enter the Schedule information.

Step 9: Click Apply and then click Continue.

For DI-704P (rev.B), DI-707P, DI-714P+, DI-804HV, DI-808HV, and DI-824VUP users:

Step 1: Open a web browser and enter the IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). Enter admin for your username and then your password (blank by default).

Step 2: Click on the Advanced tab and then Virtual Server on the left side.

Step 3: Enter the following information:

Check the box next to Enable.
Next to Service Ports, enter the port or range of ports you want to open.
Next to Service IP, enter the IP address of the computer you want to open the port to.
Click Always next to Schedule or enter the time frame that you want.

Step 4: Click Apply and then click Restart to save your changes.
