Say you want to make a tight security policy in your firewall:
dont let *anything* enter to the windows network
but
lets some services in, because you have a web, mail, ssh, ftp, etc
servers.

you configure 2 networks, prefrebly connect them to 2 different interfaces
on the firewall. The windows network is totaly secured and is your private 
LAN. the other network, the one with the open servers, is secured with the 
firewall but is open to some services. this is your DMZ.
