Post by: Seiver on October 18, 2009, 07:58:19 PM

i have had this router for 2 weeks and the DMZ refuses to work. the router is set to static and the ip for the DMZ is correct and i still have ports blocked. dident work on 1.21 and now it dose not work on 1.32NA. my good old linksys never had this problem. got the D-link for the better options within the router and they dont even seem to work all that well -_-

Hi Seiver,

I have Firmware 1.21 Version. The DMZ Zone worked for me. I had to use it once for hosting a Game of Golf. How I did it?

Log into your Router Settings.
Click on Firewall Settings.
Enable SPI.
Enable DMZ.
Click the Down Arrow to select the Computer to place in DMZ.
Click Save Settings.
Reboot the computer you placed in the DMZ.

It worked just fine for me.

Another question is exactly what you are trying to do with the computer.  It is just games? or are you trying to run a web server of some type? Letting people know what you are trying to accomplish may help, since many ISP's have a set list of blocked ports that no matter what you do, will not work for you.
