I recently added a dedicated mediaserver to my homenetwork and transferred Mediacenter to it as DLNA server. Which worked fine locally but i couldn't access from the internet. All firewall/port settings where fine but it failed. Finally i thought to activate DMZ in my router to the IP address of the dedicated server. And it works fine now.

To add to other tips

It may work, but it's certainly not a good solution. Situating a PC in the DMZ means it's fully exposed to the internet, making it wide open to all kinds of attacks.

Accessing your own machine(s) via the internet is only a matter of forwarding ports correctly, and configuring firewall(s) (Windows and Router) accordingly.
