849594 2010-03-11 09:23:00 Oh right, that makes sense, must have misread what you said Agent_24 (57)
849595 2010-03-11 09:31:00 Well, with Mirc, its for sending files only (1 entry - from whatever port to another).And the Xbox is 6. I did try adding ports once, it took forever for the Xbox to connect. And it didnt help that the info on the Dlink link was wrong lol. On how to add the ports for an Xbox. One step on the site, didnt even exist in the router. So, thats the reason why I used DMZ instead Speedy Gonzales (78)
849596 2010-03-11 18:36:00 Should should I change the settings on thomspon or not?
I dont know what names like MAC, Mirc, DMZ,ports,subnet, IPv4,DHCP, GATEWAY IPS, DNS, STATIC IPS, DSLAM, VMS are about.

I think a good panic at this stage would be appropriate!

Nah, if you don't know what all those mean you wouldn't have changed any of them in the D-Link anyway.

You don't need to uninstall anything either, just turn off the D-Link and remove it from the network.

Then connect the Thompson in its place, and turn it on. Your Ethernet will get new IP addresses from the new router.

If you're using WiFi you will need to connect to the new Wireless network (the WPA key is on the bottom of the router)

849599 2010-03-11 22:48:00 Geekster: Does your router support Static DHCP? I use it myself. Could save you some time;)


Can't say I've investigated it as a possibility. I'm old-school, and I like to group certian devices in certian ranges. Also, I don't like the few seconds it takes for DHCP to do it's thing.

Same reason I add manual port forwards in my router rather than rely on UPnP. Far more control.
