    Yes, also, I thought it was dangerous to open all the doors with DMZ, even though you have a firewall, some of them (windows) are not very good.

    Well, he doesn't have to use the DMZ now, since his router does support port forwarding individually and many other options.

    For the record, it's really not that dangerous to use DMZ if you know what you're doing. Basically, it's like connecting directly to the Internet without router. As for being hacked, honestly most people got all scared by all these articles and stuff, it is not as easy as people think. Just make sure your OS has all the latest security patches and stuff. And it's not true that the Windows firewall cannot do its job. Also, you'd be surprised, some router's firewall is not any better than some software firewall you installed in your OS.

    ;)

    I honestly don't think I've said anything unkind to eleron in this thread, so not exactly sure what's your point about the mods are watching.

    And I agree with Wirelessman, we're not sure what you're trying to do here, but both of us were just trying to help eleron with no other intention. However, you seem to keep on trying to derail the thread or something.

    Thread is now closed.

    Walk away, take a deep breath, and come back before you hit the submit button. You need to think about what you post.
