jdbrewer26 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I have a Zyxel Prestige 660ME Modem and a Linksys WRT54Gv6 Router. I use a wireless laptop and haven't been able to portforward since last Saturday. A Linksys tech told me that my modem is giving out a private IP address to my router and that's why I can't portforward.Any thoughts on this problem?Thanks,Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Because your ZyXEL acts as a router, it is (indeed) blocking your Linksys from receiving incoming connections, in which case the Linksys wouldn't be able to forward incoming connections to your computer (the Linksys doesn't see the incoming connections in the first place).This situation where your computer ends up behind more than 1 router is known as a double NAT issue. See the µTorrent user manual's advanced port forwarding guide regarding double NAT issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
