What is?

[msb.]

Lol I was sitting there whilst some sort of security was getting dealt with regarding wireless router etc... and I seen something about

DMZ what is that???

[N!ck]

You set up one of the computers on the network as a DMZ device and it basically forwards all incoming data to the router to that machine rather than it all stopping at the router. It's a bit like portforwarding every single port to the same computer lol.

[/SIZE][/FONT]

Most of them are from machines on your LAN (the 192.168.* ones) and the others are probably just pings. Do you play any online games or does anyone on your LAN?

[Swinkid]

Serously be carful messing around with the settings on your router, theres even a warning on mine which says it could render the router useless

k what exactly is best thing to do?

[Decode]

Remove your computer from the wirless network, then try to connect again. If you can (with out a password) then you need to add a password.

To add a password go to http://192.168.1.1 (or it might be http://192.168.1.0), find a page called security (or it might be called WPA) and add a password. Then when someone trys to connect they won't be able to unless they know the password.

yh I know but can any1 hack into even from like miles and miles away?

No they cant hack in from miles away unless you got a big router which range is miles :eusa_whis

They can't hack it through the internet, only through the wirless signal (or what ever you call it). So if your wirless range is 20m only people within 20m of your wirless router will be able to try and hack it.

Everything is hackable.

Theres probably a 99% chance them ips weren't meant for being harmful
