Re: Linksys WRT54G v5 not forwarding ports to wireless?

"DannyMeister" <dd.squad@xxxxxxxxx> hath wroth:

I think that the subject line describes the problem fairly well :(

I don't. I have my news reader set to not display all the header
garbage including the subject. Is it that difficult to write the
problem you're trying to solve in the subject?

Incidentally, thanks for including the version number of your WRT54G.
The latest firmware is 1.00.9 for v5. Is that what you're using? If
not, update.

I have a speedstream 4200 dsl modem that forwards all it's traffic to
the linksys wrt54g and then forwarding specific ports from the router
to the 4 wired PC's in my home network works just fine.

How do you have the SpeedStream 4200 setup?
Are you using the DSL modem to login to the ISP with NAT enabled in
the 4200? Or do you have it set to "bridged" mode, where the 4200 is
just a modem, and no NAT? See:
http://forums.ricknmiasworld.net/5100b/ppplocation.htm
(This is for the 5100 but the 4200 is similar). Which way do you have
it set?

Hint: If you check the WAN settings on your WRT54Gv5, and they say
192.168.1.xxx for the IP address on the WAN side, then you have your
4200 setup for "PPP is in modem" mode.

Clue: If you have it set for "PPP is in modem", then you have to port
forward the modem's NAT as well as the WRT54G v5. Change it to
"Bridged mode". There's some notes on DSLreports.com on how to do it.

162.40.48.58 PTR record: h58.48.40.162.ip.alltel.net
Looks like you're on Alltel.net. I'm not sure how they setup their
DSL. Digging....

Yep. Alltel uses PPPoE. They want you to install the login and
password in the modem. Bad idea because there's no port forwarding
for the NAT in the modem. Setup the modem for bridging, move the
login to the WRT54Gv5, and do the port forwarding in the router.

However, it is
a different story for my wireless laptop and pc. All machines
including the wireless ones have static ip's. They can communicate
with each other fine from within the lan, but I can't get any outside
request to hit a wireless device for game servers, filesharing, etc. I
thought the port range forwarding in the linksys worked for both wired
and wireless. Isn't it supposed to? Anyone run into this problem or
know how to deal with it?
