Dear D Link Team or unknown helper,

I did try to portforward the 6112 to 6119 ports for Starcraft Brood War. My internet access is organized with a D LINK Dir 600 Router and an CISCO EPC3208G telephone station.

Forwarding the ports in the Cisco station alone did not solve my problem.

I figured that I cannot login to my D Link router as long as the telephone station is connected. I could login under 192.168.0.1 as long as the CISCO station was disconnected. After trying to forward the ports and reconnecting the CISCO station ports were still not forwarded properly. So I tried to make the router an Access Point (AP). But now I cannot login to my router at all anymore.

Can anyone give me advice on my problem?

Thank you in advance,

Ravill.

Update: I can login to the router now and configured an access point for the router ip 192.168.0.50. I also switched of dchp and port forwarding for the d link access point, but it still does not work properly. Would it be better to put the CISCO station into the bridged only mode?

Link>Welcome!

• What Hardware version is your router? Look at sticker under router.
• Link>What Firmware version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.
• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down 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 and 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.
  Example of a D-Link router configured for PPPoE with ISP Modem bridged: PPPoE Configuration on Router
• Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask. Link>Checking MTU Values
• For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.

 - Dir 600B5 (hardware version?)
 - 2.11DE Firmware Version
 - Region is Cologne, Germany

 - I think, my service is cable. ("150 mbits high performance cable" in the advertisement)
 - ISP Modem: CISCO EPC3208G (EURO DOCSYS 3.0 EMTA)
 - I dont know what service link speed UP and DOWN means (googled it). My download speed though is 150  MBits, Upload is 5 MBits.

I tried to put my ISP Modem into bridged mode already, but then Internet wasnt working anymore and I could not access the ISP modem anymore until I put the D Link Router into AP mode.

 I believe your ISP modem is the problem as it has a built in router already:

• If the ISP 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 and 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 this fails to work, try this:

Hello,

I found a way to play brood war by taling out the router and directly connecting to the ISP Modem.

However, then I can't have additional computers in my ntwork at that time.

Further right now, the WLAN of the D Link ROuter is limited for my gitlfriend and her Laptop. She has Access to google, but many other Internet pages her Laptop cannot connect to.

Greetings,

Ravill
