ADSL Modem

[Dutcho]

Got a adsl modem, the idea ws that if I plugged it into my netgear router then it would work better than ics and a lot of nics everytime I have to add another pc.

Ok router straight forward enough and works, but I have a strange problem with the modem where as you tpye http://10.0.0.2 to access it but 99% of the time if comes up page cannot be displayed... In fact I think I have only managed to access it twice in two days

If I cannot access it then I cannot configure it to connect to the line

Any Ideas please

Portforwarding should be done in the router

YEah problem is it ask's for ip of computer you wanna forward to, this is automatic so could change on reboot's, If I assign an ip to the machine instead of it being automatic then the stupid thing lose the internet connection.

Hell of a setup
Usually u forward ports to ports, not to IP addresses.
got a screenshot of that setup-option ?

 

[Dutcho]

Ok........

Hell of a screenshot, what can u change that entry "Services" to ? Sumtin like ports in that drop down list ?

 

[Dutcho]

No it has predefined service i.e. quake, ftp. http ect.... If a service anit listed then you add it ??

 

[Dutcho]

Think I will format this machine and start again The other machines can see each other and also this one, this machine see ferk all As far as I can tell they are setup the same..... So wipe the slate and start again as this one originally had the bb connection, maybe thats why it's gone screwey maybe not.

Have a little "look & see" ther

 

[Dutcho]

Yeah been there done that but still no joy

 

[Dutcho]

Still cannot see any other shared folders on this machine as well. When I press 'show other work group computers' it just pauses then beeps.......

File and Printersharing enabled on that machine ?

 

[Dutcho]

Yeap....

Another thing though before I wipe it clean, this port forwardings lark, could I not just pen the fooken lot and let my firewall on each machine handle any nasties ???

 

[Bad Karma[CORE]]

Yepp, could do that as well, shouldnt be much of a problem

 

[Dutcho]

But how ? And would I get the desired effect ??

Depending on the firewall, not all of them support port forwarding on a software basis. Out the windows are products like Zone Alarm, Sygate, Tiny, @Guard and theirlike. Would need some more expensive firewall solutions then. Effect would be the same, as if you would configure it in the router.

Since it will get tricky to get hold of those firewall products you might wanna have another go with the router.

Just one quick question:
What exactly do you need port forwarding for ?

 

[Dutcho]

lol ok, just cannot seem to get this port jobbie to work
