Okay, I’ve set my modem to “bridged ethernet” mode, so it’s not acting as a firewall.
Enabling DMZ - how? I see where it wants me to select a computer that uses 192.168.1.X as an IP, and it will allow that computer to become a DMZ.
The problem is, when I reboot, I’m going to have a different IP. I tried setting the IP as manual (through winXP) 192.168.1.103.
Then, I told the linksys to allow the computer with an IP of 192.168.1.103 to have the DMZ enabled.
However, when I set the computer to a “manual IP” (as opposed to DHCP), it doesn’t respond to the router at all.
I can’t get into it (router ip: 192.168.1.1) for the life of me, so I have to go back into DHCP mode and disable the DMZ.
How would I make this computer (XP) use the same local IP address every single time, and still be able to be the DMZ?
