port forwarding is ok, BUT even Linksys itself, in their user forums, says that doing the same in the DMZ menu is preferred.  The moment I did that, I could immediately host games.

Does that mean you put your gaming PC in the DMZ???
There is no way I could imagine Linksys would ever recommend that.

DMZ is not recommended unless you have a specific reason you want to expose your computer to the internet.

Not sure why Linksys would recommend that since by default all their routers come with dmz not turned on to begin with which is the sensible thing to do albeit a bit harder for newcomers.

Why is it that when it is too hard people recommend you do the unsafe act to get it working??? Luckily The Monk hasn't found this one yet - he would have kittens!!!
