Paul, Sorry set the IP address on the laptop as static (right click "Network Neighbourhood" Properties, then Right click on the Lan Connection (the one you are using) and properties, then click on the TCP/IP entry and select properties and force an IP address that is within your LAN IP Range. After doing this you should really exclude this IP address from being allocated from the router using DHCP but if you make the IP address at the top end of the range for your network this doesn't matter.
On the Wireless router the DMZ setting is in the admin menu. Last Time I looked at the Linksys it was actually called DMZ (DeMilitarised Zone) and it allows all ports from the outside to pass directly through the router without being blocked. On sole of the Linksys routers it is under Gaming Options or 3rd Party application settings.
