n1nA8RFL Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Should I have static or dynamic DHCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 It doesn't matter. Your computer won't be using DHCP when you set it to have a static IP anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1nA8RFL Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 It says it's enabled on R1.If utorrent says my port is open does that mean everything is how it's supposed to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Not necessarily. If the port forwarding state is in constant flux from forwarded to firewalled, then something probably isn't configured properly (or at least one of the routers is stupid and doesn't consistenly forward packets properly).

n1nA8RFL Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I know your probably sick of me by now but you wouldn't mind helping me out a little more would you? I know how to do static IP's and port forwarding but I'm confused about the DHCP and modem configuration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 DHCP itself doesn't require any configuration... When you're setting the device to have a static IP, all you need to do is set the static IP to something outside of the DHCP range. If the DHCP range is 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.149 (50 IPs), then something like 192.168.1.50 or 192.168.1.150 is considered to be outside of the range.As for modem configuration... I'm not sure what to say here. Configuring it isn't that different from configuring any other router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1nA8RFL Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Should I enable IP pass through from my modem to router 1? I can't give my modem a static IP. If your asking me if my routers' static IP addresses are outside their own DHCP ranges then yes they are. Except for the modem's which i cannot assign.

Ultima Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 You don't give the modem a static IP.You'll need to do it for all devices behind NATs (the Dynex, the Netgear, and your computer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1nA8RFL Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 That's what i've done. Does R2's IP have to be outside of R1's DHCP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 http://kbserver.netgear.com/pdf/wpn824_ref_manual.pdfLook at page 89. If the DHCP range for your router is as large as shown in the manual, then set the DHCP range to be smaller (something like .100 - .149 instead of .2 - .254), then set the static IP for your computer outside of the new range (.50 or something, assuming you set the range to .100 - .149).

Ultima Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Do I set the Wan or LAN IP of the DynexWhy? Does it ask? There shouldn't be any distinction between LAN and WAN from the device's standpoint -- it just has to have its IP set to be static (for which LAN vs. WAN is of no consequence).

GTHK Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 What makes you think he has a triple NAT? He said his IP starts with 71 in the first router. He also said his credentials are in the first router. Also I never had trouble with a westell I used to have.ECG, it seems other people have the same problem as well, the first page I checked the user said his Netgear wouldn't port forward correctly. Look for bridge mode on the Netgear and activate it, power cycle the Netgear and your computer, and port forward on the Dynex to your computer instead of the Netgear, that should work.

n1nA8RFL Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 When I try to port forward from the Netgear to the computer it says the port is in conflict with another service. If I try to change the computer's static IP I lose control of the Netgear and it says my old IP is managing the device. I can't seem to find bridge mode for the Netgear.

GTHK Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Then, try forwarding a different port like last time. If that is intermittent again, see if the Netgear has a logger, what does it say after the port "closes"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1nA8RFL Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I forwarded the port on all the devices but it still is intermittent. I checked Netgear's logger but the only thing it shows is when it was initialized. If I have PeerGuardian2 do I have to allow any other IP's than uTorrent?

GTHK Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 PeerGuardian2 causes a different type of interference... I remember another Netgear problem, I think intermittent ports as well, was solved by disabling the SPI firewall, since your Dynex is already on the job, try disabling the Netgears SPI firewall.Also, are you sure there's no bridge mode? maybe under a field like "Connection Type:".

n1nA8RFL Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I had this problem before PeerGuardian2 so it may be unrelated. I don't think my Netgear has a firewall, at least it's not it the security settings or any other settings I could find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 It does, I saw it in the reference manual for it . As for PG2, if you use µT and you have no DHT nodes, Bluetacks lists prevent it from connecting to the network, unless another node knows your address already and makes a successful connection attempt.

n1nA8RFL Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 The only thing I see under security service is trend micro security service which is unchecked. DHT is enabled in µT so that shouldn't be the problem. I don't have any bluetack lists enabled only the peerguardian ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
