The Answer To Hosting Problems On A Link Sys Router!!!!

[Ryoushi]

Ok. First, go to this place with internet explorer.
192.168.1.1
Then, put in your account and password. Don't have an account and password setup for the computer? No problem. Put something random like Poodle, and it will set the password to admin automatically. Now, you shoudld be in the Router's properties. Next step is to click advanced. Now there will be more things to click. Click "DMZ Host"
and enter the last part of your IP in the box. Hit accept and your clear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One thing, however. Only one computer on your LAN network at a time can be DMZ host. So alternate when you need to. :) Hope your happy!!!

Bad idea actually.

DMZ host opens EVERY port to that computer, so if you have Windows file and printer sharing enabled (as most would on a home network), the potential for hacking damage is high.

It's a better solution to just forward the required ports to the computer (ports 10052 and 10054) instead of forwarding every port.

It's not always 192.168.1.1. Try varying the last number if it doesn't work.

Go to the router in your browser. The default password is admin, the user should be blank. This could be changed though, if so ask your network administrator.

Go to Advanced, then Forwarding. Enter your computer's network IP address into the IP Address column and 10052-10054 in the ports.

The first post will work but it is unsafe. It leaves your computer very open to attacks.

There are only two hundred fifty-five other possible numbers. Perhaps looking at the gateway would be a wiser decision, given that 192.168.1.1.

If 192.168.1.1 does not work, on 9x operating systems: Go to start, run, type in winipcfg. Go to your network adapter and find the default gateway there.

If 192.168.1.1 does not work, on NT kernel-based operating systems: Go to start, run, and type "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all" at the command prompt and find your network adapter's information. Look at the default gateway there.

This number will only be different from 192.168.1.1 if someone has changed it from 192.168.1.1, or if the computer is not connected to the router.

Mine is 192.168.1.10 because it was connected after the network was set up. I can't tell if that is what you meant in your last statement.

No. The router's address will only change if somebody voluntarily changes it. By default, it is 192.168.1.1, and it can be changed on the router page. If you are not the one who changed it and you tried varying numbers, the last one could be as random as 156, and you would never know until you got to 156 while trying different numbers at the end. Also, any of the first three starting numbers could be changed, for any reason. Looking at 192.168.1.x combinations will be meaningless if the first three numbers are 193.167.2.

[KRSplat]

The first three numbers are changed extremely rarely in a network. If your network administrator decided to change the first three numbers in a network including under 256 computers, the network administrator is probably not worthy of being your network administrator. Also, yes. The router's address is not 192.168.1.1 because that address was already under use by a local computer.

Actually, if a router allows you to change the third octet, it can be a good idea, because it would be an unexpected subnet for hackers. If somehow they did manage to get in your network, it's better to have addresses in the 192.168.174 range than in the 192.168.1 range which is expected. Although it doesn't matter greatly.
