Just to stress this point, please do not use the DMZ to fix connection problems except as a last resort. If you do decide to use the DMZ, please make sure you are keeping your copy of Windows up to date (www.windowsupdate.com) and that you are running some type of software firewall on your PC first. Try both upgrading your router firmware and setting up the port forwarding before even considering the DMZ - it will take more time, but will definitely be more secure.

Nevrax is aware of the problem with some of the Linksys router models, and they have one we sent them that they're using to try to fix the issue. It is a high priority fix, but we don't have an estimate on how long it'll take.
