Question : HOW TO PORT FORWARD THROUGH TWO ROUTERS (WORTH 500)
|
|
basically i have an adsl modem router going into a linksys wireless router in a setup like this.
--ADSL LINE--ADSL MODEM/ROUTER---LINKSYS (WAN PORT) WIRELESS ROUTER---MY COMPUTER IP192.168.1.1 Subnet:255.255.255.0 (Static linksys) IP:192.168.0.1 Subnet 192.168.0.1
also my computer is set to static and runs like so.
IP 192.168.0.10 Gateway 192.168.0.1 DNS 192.168.1.1
however whenever i try to use a program like emule it wont connect or just barely does and a program liek bit spirit startes of fine for the first 10 seconds then just goes dead.
i do port forwarding on the linksys fine but the router part of the ADSL modem baffles me, when i go to set up a new rule in the NAT menu u bit i get these options but dont know what to fill in.
NAT Rule - Add NAT Rule Information Rule Flavor: Rule ID IF Name: Protocol: Local Address From: Local Address To: Global Address From: Global Address To: Destination Port From: Destination Port To: Local Port:
would it be easier if i pluged the modem router into a lan port

What I usually do in a case like yours is set the ADSL modem into "bridge mode" and allow the linksys wireless router to handle *everything*. I have a lot of clients with that same configuration. If you set your ADSL modem into bridge mode, it will basically just pass traffic through to your linksys router; the adsl modem won't act as a router....it will let your linksys do the work.
Call either your dsl provider or the manufacturer of the dsl modem and ask how to put it in bridge mode, if you don't know how. Or maybe do a google search on your make/model.
