Question on Opening Nat.

Hey guys.

So I've recently ran into my 360 getting moderate Nat but was able to bridge a connection between my pc and 360. My pc connects via a usb wireless sucking thing (Dunno what it's called) to my router. I was still getting moderate Nat but was able to open it by putting the xbox's ip on DMZ.

Is this safe? I've put a manual Ip on the xbox and the pc (According to ipconfig) has a different ip from the 360's, I'm just wondering, since this is a bridged connnection, if my pc is safe. Apparently putting an Ip on DMZ opens it up to the bad guys.

Thanks for the help guys.

idk if this is related but on halo live i get this meesege that sais

"your nat type is not open, matchmaking my be slow"

Yeah, when you Nat isn't open, you can't join some games or communicate with certain users.

I've been playing with the xbox Ip's on DMZ, but would just really like some conformation on the safety of this. Should I post this in Pc General?

Thanks in advance guys.
