General Security Information / DMZ

« on: April 17, 2005, 10:25:05 am »

Hey I got a new router with an SPI firewall the other day and it has an option to enable DMZ.  I was wondering what DMZ is, I know it stands for demilitarized zone, but thats about it.  I put my Xbox on the port and turned on DMZ and it seems to login a few seconds faster.  Is it just like a port that doesn't get monitored by the SPI firewall or something?
