Title: DIR 615C - Laptop wont connect after Port Forwarding for Desktop
Post by: jthoov on January 17, 2009, 05:54:18 PM

Hi.

I use torrents a lot and a lot of times it just stopped working for me after I got the router.

I have my desktop directly hooked up to modem -> router. So I port forwarded my desktop and then the torrents started downloading really well.

But then my wireless laptop just wouldn't connect to the internet anymore. It would connect to my router but not move on to the internet until I resetted the router settings.

Any help?

Thanks

Modem needs to be connected onto the WAN port of the router.  If you have the Internet "modem" directly connected to the desktop, then the desktop would only have the Internet access.
