Hi ,

Recently i transformed my PC to a server , and after doing some research i found out that my Router go into sleep mode after sometime there is no activity in the network. 
Hence , everytime i am out of home and i want to login my server i cant. so i need to ask someone inside my home network to login my network and trigger the router. which make then my server available to login remotly.

please help me to configure my DIR 300 active all the time.

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.

• What region are you located?
• Are you wired or wireless connected to the router?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?

Routers don't have sleep modes. [/list]

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• If this modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>Double NAT (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm) and How NAT Works (http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/). To tell if the modem is bridged or not, look at the routers web page, Status/Device Info/Wan Section, if there is a 192.168.0.# address in the WAN IP address field, then the modem is not bridged. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ.
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53008.0)
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
