I was more concerned about the XBOX allowing the traffic through to my network to be hacked because it was DMZ'd. With the latest Xbox Live Update, my chats have been solid with no disconnects.

If you want your x360 to be hacked put it on the DMZ, but keep in mind if you get hacked you complete void the warranty as Microsoft doesn't support stupid people!

They are very harsh when it comes their warranties.

With as many sights the tell you to DMZ and the amount of people that do it I would expect to have heard of a single case of where a 360 was hacked over its network port. Not saying it not possible just think their would have been news by now.

The advise to DMZ or even to port forward the UPnP capable Xbox 360 reminds me of the advise others give on the WoW forum to put a PC in the DMZ and drop all firewalls.

It is just a bad idea that isn't necessary. If his firmware appropriately supports UPnP he should use it, if not, he may want to try a router which will work with UPnP correctly.

I've never seen that advice given in the official forums.

Personally i'd rather have an XBOX DMZ'd than enable UPnP. While UPnP does help the masses get their networking stuff working easily, I have no desire to let anything on my network simply open ports at will without my knowledge.
