sneaky firewall

Chalicedkitty · 05-12-2008, 08:47 AM

ok so here is the thing... "your computer appears to be behind a firewall"

So it was my understanding that if I DMZ it removes all of the wirewall and security.. Am I wrong? Ive already taken out windows Firewall and shut down that silly windows defender Ive also port fowarded.. However the port fowarding section of my router it has a section for ip am I supposed to have my router ip in there or my computer... I have 3 computers so it would be mine or the router I would guess but so far... it doesnt seem to take the message way.

Thanks!

When do you see this message? Is it from a particular program?
What is your router make and model?
What is the reason for you wanting to have no firewall etc?
