OK you have everything setup perfect.
Now one last thing. This may seem silly, but a ton of users with other D-links have to do this before it will work.

Unplug the power to the D-Link, wait 5 sec. plug it back in :-)

For some reason it doesn't start working till it has been rebooted  :wink:

Try that and let me know.

Oh, and make sure DMZ is off in the D-Link as well, just in case I forgot that LOL

It is as long as you sedate yourself.   :tongue:

That last trick is something Shane figured out from a ton of trial and error...but you know that their PR staff isn't going to advertise the fact that you have to go through some unnecessary step just to get a setting working that you clearly already set.  Maybe I'm wrong but whatever.   :smiley:

I didn't need to reboot, actually.

I DID have DMZ on in the DI, and it started to work after disabling it.

also, there is a menu option in the router itself to reboot, so unplug/replug wouldn't be necessary I think

only true way to reset any hard ware is to remove power :-)

Glad to here your all set. If you need anything else you know where to come.

And as always...
If your happy with my work. Then all I ask in return is you simply let others know about my site and programs. I do a lot more than port forwarding :-)
Also always feel free to make a post in the feedback forum.


Locking thread :wink:
