Hello Everyone

I just bought my new DIR 655 and love it..Much better range but and there is always a but..

Under the remote admin part of the router under tools.  I go to the bottom of the page and enable remote admin with port 8080 assigned with allow all.

I have setup my free DDNS acct with dlinkddns.com  The Funny thing is i can ping my computer from a windows cmd prompt but when i enable wan ping inside the router i am unable to ping my ddns.com from an explorer or FF.

Could someone please help me --do i need to open a port?  tried to connect and all i get is NEtwork Timed out. -check out the photo below...




Anyways I hope someone can help.. and yes i am trying to ping my own network computer or access my router from FF.

Thanks

DP

I guess I found my answer


 

Just to help anyone in the future...

The D-Link DIR-655 router does support loopback

[Lycan]

It will of you disable the SPI and change the NAT ENPOINT FILTERS to ENDPOINT INDEPENEDENT.

Hey Lycan,

No dis-respect but look at the snapshots i took of my dir655




and also of my trying to PING my Computer from within my LAN orWAN.



I even took down my own firewall -Kaspersky--still no good


Cant Ping it or see my router from a remote dlinkddns.com location

I'll test and get back to you.

   REPORT

I was at work tonight and i tried once again- and now it is working Lycan...Don't know what i was doing wrong or if it was the beta SW or what...

BUT IT IS WORKING. 


Thanks for all your help...now its time to setup a server...

[Lycan]

What are you hosting?

[Discovery Pro]

I would Like to setup a server so i dont have to PAY for services anymore from go-daddy.  I have a small business in Professional Home Inspections in which i operate and run.  I thought I could set up a server and not have to rely on go-daddy anymore for services.

BUT --I would really like to get this setup on a NAS on the other side of the Router.  Which would always be on.  Looking at the Apache server SW.

What do you think?

Oh and BTW Lycan--do you work for D-link?  If so Thank you for all your help...

The only thing i have found with d-link and which i really didn't like was the Customer service i got when i called into D-link.  I usually found the other person had half broken english and I could tell she didnt know her head from a hole in the ground.  and thats putting it nicely.

Otherwise D-link Products are fantastic as long as you don't have to call CS.

Like I said Lycan you have been a great resource and help and I do appreciate it.

[Lycan]

Yes I do work for d-link. You can tell the D-Link employees by the "technical services" tag under our names.

[Discovery Pro]

are you on d-link TV?  I think I watched every episode all the way to 42 i think.

HEHEHEHE!!!
