I'm a bit new to this terminology but I'll try to explain what's happening. Just set this router up...quick...easy...I'm very pleased.  Everything has worked smoothly EXCEPT, of course, my mmorpg game (FFXI).  I've made sure I have the proper ports forwarded, have tried going into DMZ, nothing seems to improve my inability to connect to the server.  Seems like a lot of talk about this very issue online, but no solutions.  From my log, after attempting to connect and getting timed out, I see:
Blocked incoming UDP packet from 75.47.120.146:22867 to 199.6.48.229:6452
Blocked incoming TCP packet from 202.67.56.131:51241 to 199.6.48.229:17271
Blocked outgoing TCP packet from 192.168.0.198:17271 to 202.67.56.131:51241

I'm sure that there is a way to allow this? and therefore get me logged into the ffxi server? This is probably easy and I'm just not getting it.

Called tech support earlier, dlink tech support and ffxi support...was like running in circles while having teeth pulled.

Any luck with this? I have the same problem, seems everything is working but I get dropped connections every once in a while and I have page after page of this same kind of error. Have you rigured it out yet?

Blocked incoming TCP packet from 96.17.109.113:80 to 24.18.171.203:51398 as FIN:ACK received but there is no active connection

Blocked outgoing TCP packet from 192.168.0.246:51398 to 96.17.109.113:80 as RST:ACK received but there is no active connection

Your problems are not the same, his are straight drops and you are getting SPI drops.

The straight drops happen because there is no rule allowing that traffic, DMZ should resolve that, I hate to say this but this kind of problem is best looked at by TS, because at least them we can have you tweak a dozen different things and it won't take months.

[cessna1466u]

TS, surely you jest? I tried that route yesterday and wow. I have had less painful experiences with the Dentist. It seems the only way to get semi-decent TS with Dlink is if you pay the $32 for the Advanced Tech Support. My unit is only 3 weeks old, I have had to remove SPI, used DMZ to get my VoIp router to be able to Fax, and I have had to reserve IP addresses for everything in the house. So far this is the only way to get things to work with this router. What is the use of a semi high end router if its going to have to be set up like a cheapo $49 router. I have the latest firmware and from what I am reading around here and other forums, that might be the cause of all my problems.

[Fatman]

If you are not going to read my posts I won't bother to write them.  I never suggested you call TS.

[cessna1466u]

Ahhh, FatMan you suggested that I call TS.

Does the FAX work if the router isn't in play?

As for the FFXI game, you shouldn't need to forward ports. Does that machine that you're trying to play from run an Antivirus program?

[cessna1466u]

Yes the fax machine works fine when the Vonage router is hooked straight to my Cable Modem.

"As for the FFXI game, you shouldn't need to forward ports. Does that machine that you're trying to play from run an Antivirus program?"

I don't know about FFXI, I dont normally play games on my computer. Sorry

[Lycan]

LOL.
For the vonage router, how are you connecting it to the 825?

[cessna1466u]

Staight into one of the 4 ethernet ports on the 825, then the 825 goes into my cable modem.

[Lycan]

i understand it's connected to the LAN of the 825, but where on the Vonage router.

[cessna1466u]

Its goes from the internet jack on the router to one fo the 4 ethernet ports on the D-Link router.

[Fatman]

had you read the sentence above you would have seen I suggested the OP do that, only the first sentence was for you it said this is a different problem.

[cessna1466u]

I see, but no normal person unless they work for Dlink would suggest they call TS. I have had 3 instances were I have called Dlink TS and all 3 have ended in more gray hair and a larger ulcer. They are truly the "Prompt" reading experts. The TS person was asking me what kind of Router I had after I had told him twice. TS was worthless and I was hoping to get some answers from these forums and so far it has been very helpful. I do appreciate all the help that is given in forums. Thanks

[Fatman]

I am surprised you got TS long enough to get grey hairs, it sounds like you are double NAT'ed, they shouldn't even try to support a double NAT'ed setup.

This is what Lycan was troubleshooting towards.  He was also getting your issue confused with the OPs, hence the gaming questions.

To skip to the end of this conversation, why do you have a WBR-1310 and a Vonage router?

If it is just so you can get wireless you should use the Vonage router as your NAT device and turn off DHCP on the WBR-1310 (I assume we are still working on a WBR-1310),  and set the LAN IP of the WBR-1310 to be a valid address on the LAN of the Vonage router, yet outside it's DHCP scope.  Once you have all that done (not before), you can connect them LAN to LAN and have wireless and no double NAT'ing issue.

If any of that doesn't make sense tell me what you don't get so I can point you in the right direction.
