Hey!
What i want to do is to open up ports allowing incoming traffic!
I've got 2 routers, the first main one is Telewell TW-EA501 (i've never had problems with this one) but since i bought a wireless D-Link DI-524 that HAS to be connected to the other one, all incoming traffic trough this on specific port i want to open has been blocked!

Does any1 know how i can open that port? I know i should forward it somehow, but i don't know what IP to use!
From my d-link to the destination? or from d-link to telewell?
and which of these two is wan and lan?

Any help is appriciated, and i'm sorry but i really don't know how to exactly explain this! =/

Hiya,

You need to access the routers setup page, usually done by typing in the IP of the router (usually 192.168.1.1) into Internet Explorer.

From here you should find the relevant pages to setup port-forwarding.

You can find more information here.

You will need to use the IP of the PC you want the ports forwarding to, which should be on your LAN (WAN tends to be your internet connection.

Let us know how you get on

thanks for you reply! :)

But hehe, that's exactly the page i've been trying to follow, and done exactly what it says, but no luck!
It's worked before with other routers, but not now!
Could it have to do with the case that i've got 2 routers? something like that i would need to forward from one to the other?
i'm really soo confused now, cause i've been trying all things, forwarding ip's here and there and open ports for ports and so on! =P

I would probably say it is to do with the fact you have 2x routers.

What reason do you have the 2x routers? Have you set them up correctly to work with each other? For example do you have bridging mode setup? DHCP on both? (not a good idea!).

the reason i got 2 is that the 'main' router has 4 ports, and they are all taken (1 for me) and i got 2 comps in my room, 1 laptop 1 workstation. And the actual reason is so that i could have wireless connection to my laptop and not have to disconect/connect wires everytime i use the other one!

I haven't set up anything between the 2 routers, the 'main' router has 2 of 4 ports that are not covered in anyway, no bridge, no inbuilt firewall! that's why i'm connected in 1 of those ports because it doesn't block me... but now since i added the d-link i'm blocked again.
And about that settin up thing, i'm really lousy at that!
