BetaTorrent Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 1. I have read through numerous articles on Linksys WRT54G router port forwarding.2. checked youtube videos on how to do it.3. changed my IP to static -192.168.1.2014. enabled Portforwarding in Linksys router(192.168.1.1)5. Enabled upnp, DMZ etc on router- which I belive will cause automatic port forwarding6. Ran options->Setup guide and it says port is not forwarded.7.ran PFportchecker utility and it also shows port forwarding is not happening.But can't seem to get it correctly.My download spees vary from 30-140 kB/s.Can someone please help me if I am missing anything ?Port forwarding has been a pian for me so far with no success.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Have you tried a static IP of .1.50?What hardware version of the WRT54G do you have? (first four letters of the serial number from the sticker on the bottom if you can't tell)DMZ is NOT a good thing to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaTorrent Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I only tried static ip of 192.168.1.201 or 192.168.1.101 as of nowMy hardware version is CDF9(first four leteers of serial number)I just updated the firmware to the latest one - Firmware Version: v4.21.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G/GL/GS/GXYour router is hardware version 3 and is compatible with 3rd-party firmwares that will likely at least fix your port forwarding issues.

BetaTorrent Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I just looked at http://www.dd-wrt.com/demo/ForwardSpec.aspNAT/Qos - > Port forwarding section and it appears(atleast the interface and options for this section) to be the same as that is on my linksys wrt54g.How is it going to solve the problem of port forwarding ?

DreadWingKnight Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 DD-WRT actually does it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Also don't use UPnP, as in some cases that can cause a manually forwarded port to be closed. In DD-WRT make sure the connection timeouts aren't higher then 300 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaTorrent Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 I have disabled upnp and dmz now as per above suggestions.I am a bit skeptic about using thirdparty firmwares for router due to security reasons.One thing i forgot to mention earlier about my setup is I am connected to Internet through router (WRT54G) which is connected to a motorola modem which actually connects to the internet cable.Something like :Internet ---->Motorola modem --->WRT54G router ------>PcJust like i did the port forwarding on my router(192.168.1.1) , do I need to port forward the same port on the motorola modem too so that port forwarding works for my router.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 If you're getting an RFC1918 address on the WAN side of your WRT54G, then you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
