| 1224712 | 2011-08-20 11:27:00 | I'm a bit confused. I'm using a Dynalink RTA1025w router. The UI provided shows little in the way of "LAN/WLAN Clients" and is very unclear on how to reserve ip's. Anyway, I'm trying to let my computer connect to the router using a static IP and then add my ip to the router as the DMZ Host IP. ( I can find the DMZ bit just not how to set my ip as static/reserved). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1224713 | 2011-08-20 11:38:00 | I wouldnt add a computer to DMZ unless it's something like an Xbox / console. Otherwise it'll be wide open. Change the ip under the adapter's properties in network connections | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1224714 | 2011-08-20 11:51:00 | Ok so should i just portforward for each application/game? Also don't I have to set the IP modem side before changing it in windows? |

| 1224715 | 2011-08-20 12:21:00 | No you can set a static ip in windows, by giving the network adapter an ip. Instead of leaving it on Auto. Then just add the ports for whatever to the router, and point it to that ip you put in windows | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1224716 | 2011-08-20 12:22:00 | Tried that. Just drops connection to the internet. Any ideas on what im doing wrong? | icow (15313) | ||
| 1224717 | 2011-08-20 12:25:00 | Did you change the ip (under ipv4 in the network connection properties) to a valid IP ?? It MUST be a valid IP (IE: like 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254 or whatever the router supports) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1224718 | 2011-08-21 00:41:00 | Ok, I worked out that the router uses the ip addresses 192.168.1.X (1 being the router). I changed that in the ipv4 bit which now allows me to connect to the router with these settings in but not the internet. ( I was using 10.1.1.3 before which cut off access to the router). When I add my Static IP to the DMZ bit in the router it connects to the internet fine. But you said not to do that. Do I need to configure this (see picture). (I am connecting through wireless). | icow (15313) | ||
| 1224719 | 2011-08-21 01:32:00 | It'll work fine if you add the IP to DMZ. But, all of the ports will be open. Which, is why you shouldnt add a windows IP to DMZ. You may have to configure the wireless (cant tell you how). Since I dont have wireless. but the config here, is the same as yours You may have to do this (use port forwarding) (media.netcomm.com.au) <- PDF file Also dont forget to change the security to something else besides WEP |
