    VUDU on the DMZ

    Anybody experiment with putting the vudu on the DMZ?

    Re: VUDU on the DMZ

    It doesn't make any difference. I haven't tried it on the DMZ but I've used port forwarding to open the ports it uses and it makes no difference. The Vudu is designed to operate properly with no user intervention on their router.

      I'd like to hear it from someone who has actually tried it and streamed a movie using the DMZ...

          Re: VUDU on the DMZ

          OK, I've just put one of my Vudu's in the DMZ on my router. I proceeded to rent "Pirates of the Caribbean" on 2 Vudu's - one in the DMZ and one behind the router's firewall (using a WRT54GL running Tomato firmware). So far the viewing experience has been identical. This is the first time I've rented this movie on either box, so there was no "cache" on the hard drive besides the normal header.

          What would you like me to look for during this experiment?

            Worked fine in the DMZ. Any other questions?

              Works fine behind the firewall as well. I don't know for the life of me why you'd want to expose the box to all the crap on the outside world. Yeah, it's secure and all, but still...

                  We're really not touchy! I guess I just couldn't figure out why someone would want to. As I stated, I used to have port forwards to it but it didn't make any difference either way.

                  But I apologize if we seemed touchy with this. I don't think Ed or I intended to be defensive or anything. Ed took the time to test it out for you. And yeah, we really wanted to know what you thought the benefit would be?

                  One big thing the Vudu does need sometimes is to have the router up the number of maximum TCP/IP connections and lower the timeout period for when the connections are closed. This could be why some people have issues sometimes...I don't know why I just thought of this...

                      There I go...

                      I would think that the DMZ is going to be limited by the same TCP connection numbers and timeout constraints that a firewalled connection would have. All the DMZ does, AFAIK, is turn off the firewall to a particular device on the LAN. I don't think any other routing parameters are changed.

                          ? I'm confused.

                          Again, I don't think putting a device on the DMZ does anything except removing the firewall to that device. It does not, AFAIK, change any of the TCP timeouts or maximum number of TCP connections.

                          I'm not trying to pick a fight here but I'm still not sure what benefit you hope to derive from putting the box on the DMZ...You've not explained that yet and we've been asking for that.

                            I've been following this thread to possibly learn something and I'm confused too. I completely understand what NA9D is saying but the cryptic responses don't make sense at all to me. Fijidaddy, can you explain what your point is for the benefit of the others that read this forum? Thanks.

                              Just curious. Since I saw better performance with a PS3 on the DMZ -- but thats another story --

                              Thanks for all the help,,,,didn't mean to cause any confusion....

                              no harm, no foul.
