in my router setup it asks for an ip to start dmz, do I just enter my computers ip?

Yus! "Republicans in Congress are moving to ratify a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning, thus ending the Iraqi insurgency."

I just saw your other thread. DO NOT enable DMZ. That removes all firewall protection your router is providing you. If you don't have a software firewall enabled, you will get hacked. Even if you do have a software firewall, you still should configure your router to forward only the necessary ports required for the apps. Take it from someone who does networking security - if it's in a DMZ, you are accepting the fact it will get hacked.

I have a software firewall, how does going DMZ make me hackable even with a firewall?

Because someone can hack your software firewall, simple as that. If you have both, they will have to know how to hack both in most cases. "If that [soiled bed] sheet is a [holy] manifestation, then I'm working on a miracle in my Jockey's!"

Well, yeah, if you say something like disabling DMZ is perfectly safe and still provides you with firewall protection from your router, you're gonna get smacked down, and rightfully so. "If that [soiled bed] sheet is a [holy] manifestation, then I'm working on a miracle in my Jockey's!"
