Wirless Routher acting strange...

[brianinlfc]

Hi,
I just recently bought a BELKIN "N" wirless routher to replace my Linksys Wirless routher. Everything works well except when it comes to this part.
- I enable the DMZ settings puting in the IP address of the computer which I want, then the wirless stops working. Only the wired desktop works, then when I disable the DMZ everything seems to work again. I need the dmz to be able to play/ host games In Empire Earth AoC. Is there anyway I can go around it? Never had this problem in Linksys
Thanks,

the object of a DMZ setup is to isolate systems. disabling WiFi is one way to do this.

see this post as a technique to ensure your LAN systems are isolated from WiFi users

intresting..i was able to use the dmz settings and use the wirless with the Linksys wirless routher :|

yes, each vendor can implement the DMZ per their design
