Go to this site that guides you in setting a static LAN IP address and port forward for a wide range of running software and brands of routers:

You can. But doing so will cancel out the benefit of the hardware firewall provided by your router.

Should not be the router as you are in DMZ. Try testing without the router.

Try searching Google for 'bandwidth limiter' or 'bandwidth manger'.
