a dmz = a demilitarized zone or a zone \ computer outside of the firewall.. set your browser to this ip address , 192.168.0.1 log into your router, (default password is admin) set up dmz or forward the required ports in special apps, advanced or virtual server also go to the dlink website and read the FAQ and also the maual that came with the router. Also log into the forums for games and the one for dlink routers on www.dslreports.com
