Kent747 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 there are options to do that stuff in your router's config stuff if you are running a linksys its a web interface usually http://192.168.1.1 but... like i said, its best ot chekc your router manufacturer's site for that Kent Link to comment
fodor Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 i have a SMC cable/DSL router.....how do i change it to DMZ?? Link to comment
tjaisv Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Like Kent said, look in your router's manual or go their website. It'll tell u how to do it. This is a very common thing. Usually it just requires logging into your router's web interface (eg, 192.168.0.1) and going to the WAN section and ticking the box that has says 'Enable DMZ'. Link to comment

Guest Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I don't suppose that any of you would know how to do this with a NetGear Powerline adapter? It's the XA601. Barring that, would purchasing another IP address solve the problem for me? Right now, I have Comcast cable feeding into my computer and then I send it to my roommate's computer with Win XP internet connection sharing. If we were to get cable out of the same jack but be assigned different IP numbers by Comcast, would I be able to play? Thanks. Link to comment
fodor Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 what i did was put in my software CD for my router and ran an advanced setup and put on my firewall and turned on DMZ...its quite simple....if u have the software.....or u could go to ur routers home wedsite....either or...they both would help tho...once u do that let me kno how ur doin....
