DMZ on Home Lan

[Gallaeglagh]

My son is convinced that he's having trouble playing a online game, Shattered Galaxy, due to the Linksys router. If I put him in the DMZ zone on my router would that place the other comps on the home Lan at any risk?

"DMZ Hosting (Demilitarized Zone)
DMZ Hosting allows one user to be exposed to the Internet, bypassing the Router's firewall security while the rest of the network remains protected.

The DMZ feature exposes a single PC outside the firewall. If you are trying to run video-conferencing or programs that require 10 ports or more to be opened, use the DMZ feature."
