sweettrixie Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Okay, I'm new at this so bare with me.I am having problems doing the port forward. When I look at the examples on the portforward page, it shows a YES for DHCP, but mine isnt activated. I dont know if this is the problem, so I'll keep explaining.I have 3MB/512 DSL through Sprint. I use a DLink DL604 Router. I followed all the instructions for my router etc but when I click on the button to see if its forwarded properly, it tells me the port is closed and it shows me a different IP addy then the one ipconfig shows.Am I doing something a**backwards or what? I can't figure this out. If someone could direct me to some information I would really appreciated.Thank you very kindly for your time and efforts.Oh PS, I can still upload and download its just very slow, sorry forgot to add that info.

Firon Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 D-Link routers are junk. The virtual server function does not work. YOu must make a forward using a direct firewall rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPRPJBJPJ Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 with my 604 i did that and it automatically just did the direct firewall rule for me i just figured it out and u have to go into the aplications part of advanced and set it up there its at the d-link website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweettrixie Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Thank you all. I did the firewall rule thingie and while it still keeps doing a fail on the portforwarding, uploading has definitely speeded up, as well as a boost to downloading.It seems to have helped. And yeah this router is a PoS, soon to get a new one.I appreciate all the help tremendously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
