DMZ

[Craig]

My 13 year old gaming son (Red Faction) has asked me to
open the DMZ port to his computer. We use a linksys
wireless router (his computer is on the wireless network.
The router has a hardware firewall and we user antivirus
software.

Am I exposing his computer (or the 3 others on the
network) to problems?

Thanks in advance,
Craig

you will be only entering in the one pc into the dmz by its ip address
assigned by router. The other pc's will not be exposed. The pc in the dmz i
suggest run a software firewall in the mean time.
