Question regarding DMZ Server - is it ok to put PS2 settings here?

Hi all.

I have been having a few (only a few, mind) problems with certain games on
my PS2 when I try to go online - and was wondering if there is a reason why
I can't put my console details as a DMZ server.

From what I understand, any machine with it's address in the DMZ will not be
protected by the firewall etc, and can recieve all incoming activity - which
surely would be ok if it's a PlayStation 2?

Ta,

Mark

PS My router is the Netgear DG834G

I've never heard of anyone who uses a Firewall with a Playstation 2...
