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.

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?
