tennesseeme Posted January 8, 2006 CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 I most certainly DMZ my console, make sure your ip's haven't jumped around. Re port forward everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted January 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thats the thing.. my router isnt capable of forwarding more than like 4 or 5 ports...thats why its in the DMZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted January 8, 2006 CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 Maybe a new firmware changed this so you can forward more ports, or it could fix the dmz mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan314 Posted January 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 Yeah updating firmware on my router is like trieng to catch a yellowbellied pig with a fishing pole in the middle of the ocean theres so many steps... takes at least an hour (well thats for the comcast update one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeme Posted January 8, 2006 CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 (well thats for the Comcast update one) what??? what does Comcast have to do with updating your routers firmware? ok lets try this, i'll scroll up too to see if i missed it, complete name, and model # of your router. You use Comcast so u use a motorala sb5120? yeah no, u didnt specify your hardware, specify your hardware lets see what kinda firmware we can dig up?

Ryan314 Posted January 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 There was a firmware update for comcast users.. thats what it has to do with it buddy.. and no.. i dont use a motorolla its a dlink DI-624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeme Posted January 8, 2006 CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 ok duh i got blunted, brb then. 624 or 624+ actually there are several revisions of that router, and being specific is necessary when it comes to firmware. http://support.dlink.com/products/revision.asp <---- crappy link BRB again, updating your ROUTERS firmware, has NOTHING to do with Comcast. and the motorala sb5120, should be your ISP's (Comcasts) MODEM not your router, u know, it's plugged into your WAN port on your dlink router. select your model #, please veiw all the revisions, http://support.dlink.com/, finding a 3rd party firmware flash on futuremark may be a better option, and may not take as long.

Ryan314 Posted January 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted January 8, 2006 Im not saying its comcasts fault!!!!!!! god it was a firmware update for comcast users that was particularly hard.. and its no revision.. its the 624. I already made a solution New router Going to bestbuy now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
