318727 2005-01-28 00:01:00 OK, just got jetstream and I am having problems (as usual)

I can connect to internet, download, email etc, but when I go to the modem setup page (http://10.1.1.1/) I can only change my login for jetstream, and nothing else.

At the moment I am trying to open certain ports to allow my p2p to work properly, but everytime I attempt to change that, I get an "Invalid Command" error.

my friend has done the same thing with no problems, same xtra-supplied modem. Only difference is he has his connected via USB, mine is connected to a 2nd NIC (1st being used for my lan)

I rang xtra, and was evetually forwarded to D-link's support, but all I got was answerphone telling me what the hours of operation were (which is strange as they according to those they should have answered my call)

Been thinking perhaps I need to upgrade the modem's firmware?

helpful help and advice welcome :)

318728 2005-01-28 00:21:00 I know this won't help your problem but I had fun and games with one of those today too!
It seems the DHCP server in the router is intermittant at best!
The internet etc would work for about 10 mins then stop until I rebooted the router.
In the end I assigned IP addresses manually to each PC and they have worked sweet since.
Maybe a firmware upgraded needed for that one too. :D

318729 2005-01-28 00:42:00 You are using Firefox aren't you? I was getting similar errors, even when changing the password. I used Telnet to change the password... but I would try IE for your port forwarding stuff. rossnixon (584)
318730 2005-01-28 01:11:00 I have got firefox, but I don't use it much (if at all) - I've been trying to use the modem setup page with IE. Agent_24 (57)
318731 2005-01-28 07:46:00 well im halfway to getting the problem solved:

I've found that If I disable norton firewall I can modify whatever I like, only problem is I dont know what part of the firewall is blocking the modem...

Does anyone know anything about this and how It could be fixed?

318732 2005-01-28 08:12:00 Did you actually find where in the control pages to modify the port. I don't have the answer (but I have the same problem and modem), trying to get the p2p (eMule) working. Will watch with interest. Ferg (2559)

With the 302g, just go to Network Setup on the left of the main page.

portforward.com
portforward.com

and as mentioned earlier, use IE to configure, not firefox.

318735 2005-01-29 08:17:00 Thanks guys, if it's any consolation you solved my problem with those links, even though I couldn't solve yours. Perhaps this bump my spark some interest. Ferg (2559)
318736 2005-01-29 08:25:00 I figured instead of actually letting norton permit whatever the hell it is that needs permitting, I'd just disable it whenever I need to change anything. Agent_24 (57)
