Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations


How do you have the ports configured on the router? Are you using PF or Virtual Server?
Please give details...

I have a port successfully working for my DNS on the 5500 using PF...

Sounds like a configuration issue then...check your settings.
Is uPnP enabled when you using PF?

Disable uPnP and then test again...you have to be actively using the port before you test for OPEN status...

No if you use the port when you check it will say either in use or down.

That too...However you do have to be using the port with the desired application to get accurate results. If your not using the port then you'll get false negatives.

Not sure...I'm using PF with port 21 and uPnP is enabled on mine and I'm getting connected. Have you tried using Virtual Server?

Well still not port forwarding does this router support DDWRT is there any way I can get another firmware that works and gets the job done I feel I wasted 169 on this.

I'd phone contact D-Link support and ask them to review your settings to make sure it's set up correctly.

Let us know what they say...

If DMZ isn't working it's not the router..he probably left the windows firewall on.

Ya this is a mis-configuration not on the router...
