I have a Lynksys router and 2 PC's. I would like to place PC #1 in the DMZ but I still want access files on that computer from PC #2. How safe is it to set #1 to the DMZ, leave File Sharing enabled but grant access through ZA by adding the IP from #2 which is behind the router?

Thanks!

Unbind tcp/ip from your lan and file sharing. I can't be more specific because you didn't specify which os you are running. In combination with ZA, you should be pretty safe.
