I am SO clever

Posted on 02.23.05. Tagged with , , All

Yeah yeah, port forwarding through one router to your comp? Piece of cake. I had to figure out how to port forward through two routers. We have the cable modem hooked up to a D-Link router which has an Airport Express hooked into it. I spent most of last night kicking and screaming and about 20 minutes this morning till I finally got it working. On the D-Link (with ips in the 192 range), I had to forward the ports 6881-6889 to the ip of the Airport Express (with ips in the 10 range). Then I had to forward those ports on the Airport Express to my (now) static ip. I know it sounds easy or incredibly uninteresting but I am glad its finally over. Software is my forte, not hardware and especially not networking, but I think I am slowly getting better at it :)

They're put by catagory, one cat per folder. Simple as pie. (oh, i think i got em all, but when i look at it, theres only 270 font files. Maybe theres just 270 on the site. i dunno. anyway, go dl it!) feel free to distribute the link, i'll leave it up till im forced to take it down.

Hey, I've got the same config. D-Link to Airport to PC. My D-link is acting as a bridge rather than a router (it's a hydrid) with my Airport allocating DHCP 10.x.x.x and I've been failing miserably for days in my attempts to forward ports. If you could drop me a line with any ideas that'd be great - at the moment I'm getting 5kbps instead of 1.5mbps because the ports aren't forwarded. Cheers.
