490960 2006-10-12 12:44:00 Ok so heres the story...
I got my 502T router from TCNZ a while back, plugged it into my WRT54G (wan port) and set it up accordingly, dsl works like a charm wireless works accordingly etc etc.
Im running the dyndns dynamic dns settings on the DLink all good, however I cant figure out how to get the ports to forward from the DLink back onto my server, for SSH FTP and HTTP or nothing.
So basically my problem is that from the Internet all I can see is my DSL router, where as I'd like to forward the requests onto the Linksys or direct to my server pc. The DLink is connected with DHCP to the Linksys, not sure how I should set up the port forwarding.
Long story short is that the port forwarding was all sweet with the Woosh modem on the Linksys but not so easy with two routers in the mix.
I'm no noob, but maybe i'm going about this the wrong way.
Maybe someone is also crazy enough to be up to this sort of techhie nuttiness

490961 2006-10-12 20:47:00 The easiest way would be to DMZ the Linksys WAN IP address on the D-Link so all ports are open to it. Then do the port forwarding on the Linksys to whatever server / ports you need.
Otherwise you will have to do the port forwarding on the D-Link to the WAN port on the Linksys and then port forward from the Linksys to your server.

490962 2006-10-12 21:01:00 try the same configuration but dont use the WAN port on the wireless router, just use one of the normal ethernet ports Jimmy D (2061)
490963 2006-10-13 07:37:00 Yeah, I ended up setting the dlink on a lan port, with the same net/subnet as the rest of the network... No chance of setting up a dmz!
Ok, so it still doesnt seem to be forwarding as expected, it should forward from the adsl interface straight to my trusty server but something tells me not to trust this dlink s***t.
Anyways, maybe some firewall setting on the dlink which is wrong but im still working on that.

490964 2006-10-13 08:06:00 Unfortunately, I have no ideas to help...

But I just thought I would add my :2cents: worth :p D-Link is as bad as you can go, why do you think Telecom give them out? they are cheap and crap. I am only buying Linksys products at this time (which are amazing), I am just saving for a Linksys modem now :D

490965 2006-10-13 21:40:00 I tried to get port forwarding going on my 302G which supposely does support it but gave up. The Linksys is a superior device but unfortunately is not a ADSL modem (so you need the 502T). If Google can't help you, no-one can. dolby digital (5073)
490966 2006-10-14 00:55:00 I completely agree that the linksys gear is far superior. Working with cisco equipment over the years has always been a trouble free time, and seeing as Linksys is the home user end of the Cisco brand you gotta trust them.
Anyways the dlink started to forward http onto my server but not ftp (yet) so I have my webserver up and all that.
Yes, dlink is cheap piece of poo but if its free im not gonna complain haha.
