Problem with Port Redirection with DSL-500 Generation 2 |
|
|
Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question or not. If
not, please let me know where I should ask this question.
I'm having trouble with setting up my computer as a web server via
DSL-500 router. My computer with staic IP address (192.168.0.4) is
connected to ADSL Router in wireless network (the router is connected
to an Wireless A/P). And I'm using the lastest, I believe, firmware
(R2.21.002.04.b13au) for the router.
In the router's web interface, I've set the port redirection as:
State: enabled
Protocol: TCP
Start Port: 80
End Port: 80
Local IP Address: 192.168.0.4
and then rebooted the router. But people still can't view my webpages
using the external IP address of the router.
I think all setups are correct, I can't see anything wrong in there.
Could anyone tell me what's wrong with this please?
Thanks in advance,
Chan |

Hi Chan
Due to the lack of information regarding your equipment and
configuration of this, you must first try to identify the source of
your problem. This can for example be:
1.You are using both a modem and a router, with DHCP enabled on both.
(Some modems are actually modemrouters, and if this is what you have,
you should set your modem to work entirely as a modem - in Bridged
Ethernet mode - leaving the DHCP part of it to the Router.)
2. Configuration of your firewall to accept Internet traffic on port
80/80
3. Configuration of your server to "serve" on all unassgned
IP-addresses on port 80
You're saying that you have the static IP-address 192.168.0.4. Well
this is the internal IP-address of your computer - "assigned" by your
router.. It can be set as a INTERNAL static IP address behind your
router, but it does not work as the EXTERNAL IP-address, for the
Internet. The external IP-address is a totally different number,
assigned by your ISP.
You'll need to be sure whether the EXTERNAL IP-address, is a static or
dynamic IP-address. A dynamic IP-address change each time you restart
the computer after a shutdown.
To find your external IP-address, you can go to seeip.com. To
determine whether it is a dynamic or static IP-address, shutdown PC,
restart and seeip.com again! If the number is unchanged, then you
probably have a static (external) IP-addresss, provided to you by your
Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you are having a dynamic IP-address, you need to sign up with one of
the, often free, DNS-updater services, such as DynDns.com. Such
services provide you with a program that makes sure your IP-addresss in
cyber space is always updated.
Hard to say something more specific in the resolving of this problem
without more information..
Best of luck!

Yes, I have an ADSL Modem Router, and DHCP is disabled to enable me to
use a static internal IP address in Port Redirection setting. And port
redirection is set to redirect traffic on TCP port 80 to 192.168.0.4.
In my network, I have the ADSL modem router which is connected to a
wireless A/P, and then the A/P communicates with a laptop computer
which is 192.168.0.4. This is my entire network.

I don't use the firewall which is built into the router, but I use
Windows firewall since I use Windows XP with Service Pack 2. When
people try to access my computer I disable the Windwos Firewall and
Norton Antivirus 2004 as well.
I know the difference between the internal and external IP addresses. I
give out my external IP address to other people to try to connect to my
computer from outside.
I've done everything the guide from D-Link tells me to do, but it's
still not working !!!
Thank you for reply,
