Zyrius Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I seem to be having a similiar issue with my Westell. The only thing I'm curious about is when I go to forward the port, it asks if I want Dynamic or Host, and when I try to choose Host it doesn't let me select my computer out of the drop down box. Does it only have to be Dynamic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80zforever Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Saadi, although the icon is yellow, it would still accept the connection. Now before doing the port forwarding thing, let me explain what might be the issue. If you're using a router what happens is that after a few months of dling/uploading, many ports are kept open on it [specially if you use random port forwarding]. This will limit the connectivity of your router. Just re-set your router [there's a small button on the back that you need to press for 30 seconds] and install it again. Believe me this will fix the problem. before re-setting make sure you have the original CD that came with your router and the product key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Nephilim Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Not useing DSL, Clear-Wire wireless internet, Not sure the exact model..Hmm in that case you will NOT be able to Forward or Open a Port using a wireless ISP.
