You could also define a new app called dmz and forward everything to it, then assign it to your pc you want to be dmz'ed.

I've recently just received the same router from plusnet, and I'm quite frustrated by this. Just to sort out some confusion:
Biker, the "DMZ" feature on this router (which is locked down, to some degree) is a sort of bridged mode whereby one machine on your private network is meant to be assigned the public address; this is indeed different to any other router's DMZ feature that I've ever encountered whereby all inbound traffic regardless of transport level protocol is sent to an address on the private network chosen by the user.
I use this setup so I can send everything to my server, rather than setting up individual port forwards, as not all my traffic is necessarily TCP or UDP, but with th TG585v7 no traffic seems to flow at all.
I've searched around google and it seems many people have similar issues with this router.
Regards,
Justin

Quote from: euclid Anybody from Plusnet know if this is a known firmware issue?
I guess not. I'll have to buy a different router.

I hope I caught you just in time... don't necessarily rush out to buy a new router.
Today I got round to trying some stuff out. My reasoning was this:
- The router was free from plusnet
- It's already broken, so I'd resigned myself to buying a new one of my own anyway, therefore messing without couldn't make things any worse.
I did a little more googling and found this forum message:
http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/dslrouter/3539327-plusnet039s-tg585-v7.html?fpart=2&vc=1
This linked me to:
http://ipstore.us/info_support_int.html
I clicked the link named "TG-585v7 Upgrade Wizard w/7.4 (ZIP - 6.75M)" which downloaded:
http://ipstore.us/software/upgrade_wizards/with_latest_firmware/TG-585v7%20Upgrade%20Wizard%20w74%20...
Ran the wizard, it takes quite a long time, I have to say, then the wizard thought it had lost the connection to the router, but I noticed windows seemed happy enough and had been given an address. I went to http://dsldevice.lan/ and lo and behold, I have a more generic Thomson page, with out all the plusnet customisation. (That said, it's not that disimilar, and there weren't really any more configuration options available).
It's getting late tonight, so I've only done some brief testing, but I can report to you that I successfully configured the router only using the web interface (no hacking config files, telnet, etc) to assign my desktop the public address. To my amazement, it worked properly and packets were flowing normally. Even better though, you're still able to access the management page on the router itself at 192.168.1.254. I'd guess therefore, if you had additional clients, they might also work as expected with other RFC1918 addresses.
The only other tests I performed were a power cycle of the router to make sure it remember the settings, and this time it did. I also checked my desktop (which runs XP) could receive some form of incoming connection, this worked ok. I'll do some more extensive tests in the next few days with a proper OS and see just how much actually comes in, and how well the router performs under some sort of load.
So far, I'm impressed though. Will keep you posted!
Only other point I should mention, the firmware version has gone from 7.4.4.7 to 7.4.2.something, so it is some form of downgrade, you may want to be warey of this.
Cheers,
pinkj

I'm not sure of this site is any good - it has a lot more user manuals for the TG585 :
V3 of the user guide.
Ethernet setup guide
Ethernet QoS guide
ATM QoS Guide
VLAN Configurarion Guide
IPQoS Configuration guide
Stateful Inspection Firewall configuration guide
TR-069 configuration guide
http://www.technostation.com/user-guide-owners-manual/Thomson/THOMSON+TG585v7
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tg585v7+manual&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:officia...
It is the no link on a Google search for TG585v7 manual
Also Thomson's partner support page.
I've not explored this yet as I've just found it, so please let us know if you find a guide which helps with DMZ
