Port forward again - NAT config reset

[Russ]

hi we recently upgrading our phone lines here - and im sure this reset the settings for my opened ports

i went to the NAT configuation and had to do it again but when i try to open a port it says

(Fails to perform the specified action...Error: Invalid command)

im using a dlink dsl 302g and i manually configured my ip address - the settings on the pc for UT is still the same

i go type the ip address for my router 10.1.1.1

advance settings

under WAN is NAT rule configuations

then nat rule entry and add a port

rule id 2

local address from: 10.1.1.1

local address to: 10.1.1.1

destination port from: 45682

destination port to 45682

ive tryed local address from and to using 10.1.1.4 and still dont work

i went to http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DSL-302G/Utorrent.htm and tryed but still dont work - can your isp prevent you from opening a port ? or make it unavailable while they upgrade ?

thank you

Hi, You need to setup a Static IP on your Computer and use that IP NOT the Routers IP under "LOCAL ADDRESS From & To"..

You need to set the Computers Static IP Outside the range of the DHCP,

read this Guide on How to Choose a Static IP:
