Depends on how the device implements DMZ. Some DMZ's are implemented as a straight pass threw for the passed ports. Try it and see what happens.
You will never escape NAT since that allows you to run multiple computers off one IP (the routable ip assigned by your ISP). Another way to put it is if NAT was not running you could have only one computer on the network. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ooks Server Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 1:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] Need a router recommendation This is a bit of a stupid question...but if I put a box in the DMZ, does that bypass things like firewall and limited nat tables? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Fencik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 9:20 AM Subject: RE: [hlds] Need a router recommendation > Linksys are cisco.
