All I can see in your details is that maybe your linksy's router has a nat firewall within...If you have a look underneath it you will see a model number could you tell me what that is .....

[lansing]

Linksys Model No. Wmp54g-eu

[wondering why]

No that's not it...That's the model number for your wireless adapter, I need the make and model number for your modem/router....

[lansing]

Then I Guess It Must Be Siemesn Speedstream 6520 Wireles Adsl Gateway

[wondering why]

That's the one...Here are your instructions for Port Forwarding, hopefully this will fix the issue....

Port Forwarding for the Siemens Speedstream-6520

i believe that the home page address for my router is 192.168.254.254
but when i am trying to open it this message is displayed

Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: "No route to host" The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.
