How to Open Port?

[oldsap]

Hi Shane, it's been a long time since i posted here. 

i've been using port 5000 which used to be open for my DVR.  Since my isp changed my modem/router, port 5000 is now closed.  Is there a way to manually open a port?

Thank you for your time.

You need to setup the port forwarding rule in the new modem/router.

Did your ISP give you a new modem?

Shane

[oldsap]

yes they did give me a new modem.  it's a prolink h5201.

using http://canyouseeme.org/ to check port 5000, the result is this:
Error: I could not see your service on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(ISP Given IP) on port (5000)

Reason: Connection timed out

could you walk me through on how to do this?

my setup is this:

Prolink Modem/Router(from isp) <= Dlink DIR-300 <= DVR

Prolink:
LAN IP: 192.168.1.1
DMZ = enabled for (192.168.0.1 - Dlink Router IP)
Port Forwarding:  NONE

Dlink:
IP Address 192.168.0.1
Port Forwarding:
Name: DVR   Public Port: 5000-5000
IP Address 192.168.0.xxx   Private Port: 5000-5000

DVR:
IP Address 192.168.0.xxx
Port: 5000

Hi Shane,
i've set my DLink internet setup connection to Static.  my problem is, if i do so, i can't connect to the internet anymore.

i also have a working setup at my office but my problem is i cannot log into my first modem/router (given by my isp) there.  i forgot it's ip address.  i can only log into my office's 2nd modem.  if i type in my static ip given by my isp at my office, it logs into my 2nd modem

[Shane]

No dont worry about that right now

Shane

[oldsap]

i followed the setup guide but i still wont work.

[Shane]

OK get me a screen shot of the DMZ page in the modem
Also a screen shot in the D-Link showing its WAN IP.

Shane

[oldsap]

here is the DMZ for the Prolink Modem


Here is my DHCP settings for DLink Modem (if i use this i can browse the internet


This is the screenshot if i choose Static IP for my DLink, but i cannot browse the internet using this

[Shane]

Thats the wrong IP

That is the LAN ip of the D-Link. We need the WAN ip.

What D-Link model do you have? I can get a screen shot of the page you need to find

Shane

[oldsap]

DIR-300

[Shane]

The internet IP on this page in your router

is the IP that should be put in dmz in the modem

192.168.1.2 is what you want to have in the dmz in the modem
