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

Why u think that u need port forwarding for ?
Or what do you need it for ?

Games... Medal of honour ect... DC++ and also PtokaX

Check http://www.dslreports.com/faq/9101
and do that for all games you want to use. Just need to figure out the port range they use

Nope still cannot connect to anyone in dc also connection keeps dropping and reconnecting ??

 

[Dutcho]

ppl connect to me ok

Have trouble with some web sites as well, say ebay, can get listings but not pages there after...

DC++ and games might need forwarding but port 80 for webpages shouldn't need that.
If you configure your PC as DMZ-Host, see if that helps. Should be a DMZ option somewhere in the router setup

The modem also has nat settings ect, could these need playing with, you wanna take over my machine...lol

Door slammed shut in front of me. Router doesn't like me

 

[Dutcho]

router dont like anything...lol

 

[Dutcho]

done that dmz thingy but still cannot go active in dc

 

[Dutcho]

Got to be missing something really easy here..... Is anyone using a router and DC++ with success without being passive ???

 

[Dutcho]

OK modem ip is 10.0.0.* and router is 192.168.0.*, could this be causing problems ??

 

[Dutcho]

Just been playing about in modem setup and that has settings for 'virtual server' ect..... Could it be that this also has a form of firewall that needs ports to be allocated to it ???

Are you not setting the ip addy for router to be found auto, rather than manual addy m8 ???

 

[Dutcho]

Pass...

Do you have a similar setup to mine????
