Bypass network IP

[mike_sanfil]

1) Right click on the network icon in your system tray and select "status"
2) Click on "Properties in the lower left corner of that window
3) Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" then click properties.
4) Select use fallowing IP address
5) Enter something for ip like 192.168.1.161
6) Enter subnet mask as 255.255.255.0
7) Enter Gateway as the ip of your router (usually 192.168.1.1)
8) Enter your DNS server ip's (can be found on status page of router config)

Then you can go to the farward page and forward the needed port to ip that you entered (like 192.168.1.161)

BTW: all this information can be found with pictures on this PDF

Right I have given myself a static LAN IP addy(192.168.1.2.), but the problem is when I port forward the needed ports they don't work and DMZ doesnt even work. So my question was in the static routing section of my router I could some how make a "non-network" ip or just use my WAN static ip.

Thanks though Mike.

I don't think so. I will still hook your modem into your comptuer to see if the router is causing the problem. Sometimes DMZ doesn't work right. BTW, what program are you trying to run off your computer? Hmm, and I don't really understand what a "non-network" ip would be.

[Shabow]

By "non-network" ip I mean a IP addy that is visible to everyone on the Internet.

I know you can do this through the linksys static routing section. But I am not sure how to work it.

[mike_sanfil]

Ya, I have a linksys BEFSR81 and a Wireless G. Although I don't think you can do this without buying another IP from your ISP. A router is a router, it takes a bunch of computers and makes them look like they are one. It's just how a NAT works.

Shouldn't a dynamic IP work? (www.no-ip.com)

That's how I got my Battlefield 1942 server running, using a router.

[GroundZero3]

the problem is he cant get it to access the outside network (internet)

[Shabow]

Can you rollback to previous firmware versions?

The static routing has nothing to do with this.

In a nutshell, no you cannot use your public IP behind your router. DMZ effectively does the same thing. If you put it in the DMZ and still cannot access it, there is something else at work here, like a firewall on the PC or your ISP is blocking something.

I would say that static routing would be the ideal solution to having a public IP behind a PNAT router.
