I'm also curious to whether the static IP number is only 1 digit different to your ISP's number... You lost me here, I think. If I understand, you're asking if the Static IP is only one digit different than the ISP's number and the answer is no. The first two "sets" of numbers are the same, the third and fourth "sets" are different.
I ask this because I port forwarded for a friend the other day and the static IP the instructions gave me didn't work, but if i entered the ISP's IP it worked...go figure, I'm at a loss of why that happened...lol | Okay. Is the ISP's IP # the DNS numbers from D-Link? There are two of them. One is the one I log into the web setup for D-Link and the other, quite different in series, is the ISP IP?? I GUESS I ought to mention that I had an OLD Qwest DSL modem and this
"newer" D-Link router. They worked fine together. THEN, I upgraded my DSL to a faster connection and bought this new Qwest, ActionTec GT701. When I first switched out the modems, I could no longer see my network. The tech guys told me the router thought the MODEM had router capabilities and it was confused. The MODEM is NOT a modem/router; JUST a modem. So they had me adjust the IP settings in the D-Link web setup, turn off my XP Firewall and disable my McAfee Firewall and use only the NAT firewall. So this configuration I'm using is a modified configuration from the original that the D-Link set up by default. WHEW! How's that for long-winded. NOW do you guys have any more ideas???  |
