Question : Port Triggering and/or Forwarding and a Linksys router.
|
|
Hi, Main issue we're having is how to configure a Linksys RV082 to give 4 workstations access to ILX, a stock quotes program. The problem we're facing is that each workstation needs to have ports 4900-4901, 5960-5961, 7311-7315 open to all 4 machines. Now apparently, the Linksys router does not allow any ports to be opened for the LAN---essentially it's the same as their other routers where the ports can be pointed to a specific IP Address.
From what I understand about port triggering, the machines may not be able to use the program simultaneously as well.
Should we consider getting a higher end router/firewall? Or is there a workaround for this.
Some background info: Was using a Netopia R910 We were working fine, but when Verizon decided to cut our dynamic addressing, everything started going haywire on the router. The router cannot be accessed via telnet and internet connectivity hardly works (however, internet works fine if we reset it to factory settings but cannot reconfigure the Port forwarding scenario that's in place to accomodate the 4 workstations).
Any insight and advice is appreciated---thanks!

In some of the Router like SMC, would allow to open multiple ports for multiple computer using Port Triggerring. However this would be applicable for outbound traffic, and not for inbound.
Hence if the application requires to get opened for outbound traffic, then you can check with those kind of Router.
