Thread: Turning on 'DMZ Host' stops web browsing

Hi there. I'm using the WA3002G4 WiFi router. I'm trying to get some speed for my torrents, so I followed the guide here and setup the DMZ host as mentioned in the guide. After that, the ports do appear open, but for some odd reason, my web browsing stops, and the browser isn't able to locate any of the web servers. Any suggestions why? Plus, I'd like to install a good (light-weight) and preferably free firewall onto my system after I open the ports up. Any ideas? It has to be light-weight, and I've gone through most of them already

Thanks!
