DMZ = Demilitarized Zone... It is not a made up word... it is an area outside of your firewall... we usually use this for setting up honeypot traps for idiots who want to try to hack into a network. Also a few servers sit outside the firewall in the DMZ for full access... I wouldn't suggest putting your PS3 in the DMZ as you could possibly end up susceptible to DoS (Denial of Service) attacks. The DMZ exists between your Modem (connection to your ISP, regardless of who they are or what type it is) and the Switch half of your Router gear (the other ports that you plug your computer, or other network gear into).

again... it is outside the firewall

Netmask: the term "Netmask" is most often associated with subnet masking. (For most home users your subnet mask is 255.255.255.0) it tells the network devices which messages to listen to and which to ignore. Those that are allowed "fall through" the mask (it ends up comparing binary values within the packet headers... yeah I know... this is pretty deep geekery... but i hate it when people throw around buzzwords... like a lizard puffing up a dewlap trying to look impressive)

I thought the chat-highlighting was the glitch that was de-syncing the connection, that actually gave load hangs? Also, isn't DMZ a made up word... Isn't Nat-type... Considered only by, NAT-type or did I miss the memo of this, change?

IT is not tunneling your connectivity through port 80, exempting the netmask. You are telling people how to port-forward... If you want faster connectivity... Port Forwarding wouldn't increase anything. Cable sucks, DSL is better. If you want faster connection, you could splice two router ports to one eithernet cable... That would give you a faster downstream, but again if you are on cable -- You are going to have lag. Just take two Eithernet cords. Cut the ends off one cable. With the other cable you just cut off one end. Now take the two eithernet plug-ends and splice them to the one cable. You should have a eithernet cable, that has two eithernet plugs at one end. That will boost your connection. But it only works if you have a router that has more then one outlet. Forwarding is useless. The only thing you are doing is just exempting the netmask. The netmask is what helps your system stay secure. The netmask is only used upon making connection, after the netmask is used one time, it isn't used throughout the entire connection. Just on negotiation. Thus, port forwarding is useless.

DMZ is made up.... Sorry for the delay, of my response -- I just wanted to see how many sites started to start using DMZ. But your lil, theory of DMZ.... See there is an actual name for those " it is an area outside of your firewall" as you call them. They are called, SWITCHES. Switches are those nodes that direct traffic outside your firewall. Many spoofers use proxies to attempt to make their proxy look like their host. But it is really easy to exempt them and find actual DNS info. Proxy servers, are often used to try to spoof connectivity, but those who use them... Often do not know what an PROXY-server is actually for.
