I'm glad my router came with a Nat-Open/Closed selector. All this dmz and port forwarding stuff seems like you could really screw up your lan if you didn't know what you're doing.

The older Linksys are the best! If you're a gamer you need to invest in one. I tried a newer Netgear, set up the router for optimal gaming, and it kept signing me out of the PSN,

I've tried em all, currently using UPnP. I would think most routers have this feature, my 7 year old Linksys had it.

I would have thought the easiest was to turn on uPnP on your router (assuming you can)... if not, yea DMZ coupled with port forwarding.

Side bar: DMZ technically a bit more secure for your entire home network when you consider the possibility of infected computers in one's home network. But if one is cautious and has no infections anywhere, enabling uPnP is "generally" ok.
