I have a Dimensions 4100, a DSL internet connection and a Linksys wireless access point router. I would like to assign a DMZ to a device on my network (Playstation 2), using an ethernet connection. Im having issues with the firewall while playing online games. Im not concerned with security for this connection.
Hi,
Go into the Linksys setup screen with your browser, and go to the DHCP screen. http://192.168.1.1/DHCP.htm Get the IP address of your Playstation 2 from the "DHCP Clients Table" and input that number into the "Advanced" / "DMZ Host" screen. http://192.168.1.1/DMZ.htm That will put only your Playstation 2 online without the firewall.

I tried that but it's still not working. I can hear other players but they cant hear me. The headset is functioning properly.
Hi again,
It sounds as if you might have some other problem than just the router. If you remove the router from the picture as a test, does everything work like it should?

Before I got the router I was using a Linksys 5 port switch and everything was working fine, I switched to the router because the switch would only alow me one connection at a time. I tried connecting the playstation into the dsl modem and couldn't connect, switched back to the router and it connected fine. I tried the headset offline and it worked fine.

Thanks,
