mikester Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Hi I have a DW7000 with a static IP. I've been reading the help files on the unit and appearently it supports PORT FORWARDING and FIREWALL but these features are currently turned off. Anyone know how to enable these features? I am trying to allow WAN access to my LAN for FTP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 The DW7000 doesn't really do either of those, it forwards all ports when a static IP is used. To forward ports, you will NEED a router. Linksys WRT54G works great for me. You will also have to manually enter the static IP information on the router. The DW7000 doesn't hand out the static IP, it hands out a NAT IP to the LAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikester Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 So you are saying I should enter the DW7000 IP address, gateway and DNS into my router and I'm home free? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 1 higher than the DW7000 IP...and the mask should be 255.255.255.252...and the gateway will be the DW7000 IP...then just setup port forwarding on the router to whatever computer u need...then you'll be home free...

mikester Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 When I try that I loose my internet connection - I can't even ping out Any ideas why? There's a firewall setting that's disabled on the DW7000. Any idea how to get that going? The DW7000 appears to be hell bent on being my DHCP server.

ghostmaster Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 Did you set the routers IP address as 1 number above the DW7000 address? Ex. If the DW7000 address was set to 66.66.66.66, the IP you set on the router should be 66.66.66.67, subnet mask of 255.255.255.252 and gateway of 66.66.66.66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
