the_punisher Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I had this problem with my ZTE router. The problem was that I set a static IP that was either conflicting with my DHCP or was outside my DHCP range.you can fix this by reading this : http://forum.portforward.com/YaBB.cgi?num=1116577357hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Check the sticker under the router, what version is it? Go to the Linksys status webpage, what's the first two parts of the IP address listed in the Internet section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTHK Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 The sticker under the router also has a version number. When you go to the Linksys, there's a Status tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagface213 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 @ the littlefire...you think i dont know that? how do you think i got that pic of the port forward... and when you said to go to the stat page, i thought you meant linksys homepage/websiteand the first 2 parts of the ip address are 192.168the whole is 192.168.2.1MY ip address is 192.168.2.185All I know, is that I have followed every single bit of instruction that I could possibly find. Ive tried it all like, 5 times, but NOTHING works!I click the test if port is forwarded button, and it is supposably CLOSED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 If your routers IP address, as listed on the status page, is in the 192.168.x.x range, then you or your ISP have another router that needs configuring. What make and model modem are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagface213 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 ''then you or your ISP have another router that needs configuring"what does this mean???i told you, the router only says WRT54G, nothing else.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 YOU HAVE ANOTHER ROUTER. And when you look at the router, are you looking at the bottom sticker that also has your serial number and MAC address? What make and model modem are you using?

bagface213 Posted November 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 i dont get what you mean, there is one router, a modem, and an adapter...forget it...WRT54G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Your modem is probably also a mini-router and firewall.Do you see it listed at www.portforward.com in their ROUTERS section? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeshii Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have to thank you all for this topic. I have a modem that is also lined with a router's operation for ADSL service. The modem, I got into and set for my utorrent port as well as enabling UPnP and I got the green light for the first time since I have had Internet. It never crossed my mind that the modem was causing the problem. I'm just thankful it had the ability to log into it locally and not through my ISP so that I could correct it.
