Why use DMZ. Just use Individual Port Forwarding. I use port 32400 in Plex Media Server.

<NAME> - TCP - 32400 - <LAN IP> - 32400.

Or did you already tried that? If not, please be more specific with your problem description.

I already tried that , usually DMZ opens your ports all together , isn't it ?
I tried everything but couldn't get the Plex to work ... :cry:
Can you give me another advise what to do ? ...

Reflash. Upnp seems broken, but like the other poster,port forwarding works.

I can confirm that the DMZ doesn't work, even after a new install. I have the DMZ host set to a static IP and I successfully connect to its local IP from within the network. But I cannot connect to it via the remote DNS host which forwards back to us. To make that work I need to manually set Gargoyle to forward the port (which the DMZ should be doing already).
