Author Topic: Finding a hidden IP for a secondary router. (Read 1120 times)

I'm back, sorry I kind of ditched the last thread, like a year ago.

Anyway, I want to port forward for my PS3, but I'm behind 2 routers. I can find the IP for the Dlink router, but not for the secondary, which is a Vonage, and It's actually meant for a phone.

I just need to find the IP for the PS3 so I can port forward, thanks for the help.

If the D-Link is before the vonage then just have your PS3 hooked to the Dlink and then setup the port forwarding rule there

I can't just port forward for one of them, because the other will block the connection, that's what you helped me figure out before.

OK so in the vontage is there a status page to show what WAN ip it gor from the Dlink?

The ate didn't show me a WAN ip, I did however find a setting called "WAN blocking" that is checked.

It should have it listed somewhere. Do you have a status or WAN page?

Shane

No WAN page, the status page doesn't say anything about WAN.

It has to be listed somewhere. Post a screen shot of the status page for me

There ya go.

IP address is right there. And it is your internet IP.

Perhaps I am confused. Is the vonage first then the router?

The hookup goes in this order: Computer>Dlink>Vonage>Modem

Shane · « **Reply #11 on:** November 07, 2011, 11:22:12 AM »

Ah!

Ok, log into the D link, find its WAN ip address and put it in the DMZ in the vonage.

Then setup any port forwarding rules in the D link

Alright, so here my problem now: I did what you said, DMZ is on the Vonage, and I port forwarded what I needed. However, it didn't fix the problem I was originally trying to overcome. I'm trying to forward ports for Blacks Ops to get rid of the strict NAT type. Once I do that, I can play Modern Warfare 3 without one.

I still have a strict NAT type, care to help?

mmmm 12 more hours before I start knifing people on MW3 lol

Well lets things out.

Post a screen shot of the page showing the WAN IP in the dlink.
Post a screen shot of the ort forwarding page in the d link and one in the vonage.
Post a screen shot of the DMZ page in the vonage.

ANd make sure UPnP is on in the Dlink and DMZ is off in the dlink.
