Hi Guys

I'm having problems getting the port forwarding to word on said modem. I
have
the main pc hooked up via the ethernet port directly and my others are
wireless. I understand that I need to set up static ip's for port
forwarding
to work but that's where I'm running into problems. Already been googling
around a bit to no avail. The most comprehensive instructions I've come
across assume a windows system alas. And it seems setting up the dns and
such
is a lil different in ubuntu (8.04 here). Currently all my pc's are on
roaming mode as it's the only way I've been able to connect to the net.
Once
I can get the static ip's working I SHOULD be fine with the port
forwarding

DLink's tech site suggests the following using a windows system

Select the 'Use the following IP address' option:
IP address: 10.1.1.99
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Default Gateway: 10.1.1.1 (your router's address)
DNS: 10.1.1.1 and 61.88.88.88 (or whichever your provider is using)

Any help appreciated

Hello,

The router in my DSL modem/router combination is actually at an ip of
http://192.168.0.1/ so the numbers you have there aren't always used as
you have them. The address shown for my router above allows me to log in
to my router's configuration interface with my web browser to make any
changes needed to my connection,. Since I dual boot, and do not change
the settings each time I do, it is set the same for Windows XP as it is
for Ubuntu Linux.

Here are my DNS server ip's as well, which are for the isp Qwest that I
use. Note that the ip of my router is also the setting used for my Gateway

DNS Address #1: 205.171.3.25
DNS Address #2: 205.171.2.25

My subnet masks are set to

255.255.255.255
255.255.255.0
255.255.255.0
255.0.0.0

Since my actual external ip address gets set dynamically with DHCP, it
changes periodically at the ips's convenience. My computer itself
appears to be assigned 192.168.0.2 which is just one digit off from the
router's location.

So... what you need to do, is attempt to use your browser to access your
router or modem that your main PC is plugged into directly, and have a
look at the settings in it's interface. You may need your username and
password to get logged into it as well, but the first time I logged into
mine, I did not need them. I have set it to ask for them since then.

Yoou will need to know whether your isp wants you to use PPPoA, or
PPPoE, if you should turn on DHCP, as well as many other settings that
may need to be applied, and vary by service provider. You will need to
ask your isp for these setting's values.

Later, Ray Parrish

Why are you trying to use port forwarding?
To setup a lamp server, mail server, ssh server?
If that is your case, well indeed you need to provide your box a static IP
so the port forward will work
If it isn't your case you will need to provide a static ip too, that is how
port forwarding works

In ubuntu double click on the networking icon or go to menu >system >
aadministration > network and you''ll have to uncheck the roaming mode and
then go to properties and in configuration, select from the drop-down static
ip address and enter the ip address, subnet mask, gateway address that
matches your current dhcp config, ex.

ip address: 192.168.0.100
subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.1

click ok and then you will have to add the dns info in the dns tab, ex.
192.168.0.1 or whatever your router is using to resolve names over the
internet

now that you have assigned the static ip then go to the router ip on your
browser and add the ip address along with the port(s) you need to forward to
that machine.
and that's it!

hope it helps.
