richcornucopia Posted May 21, 2006 CID Share Posted May 21, 2006 I'm a little embarrassed to ask such a simple question, but I've messed around with it long enough. How do I port forward on a router with dd-wrt? I've gone to applications and gaming, forwarded the range of ports I want to the ip I want just like a normal router but it doesn't work. It saves the settings and when I go back to check its there, saved like its working, but it doesn't. The ports are not being forwarded to my computer even though the router basically says it's setup to do it.

Swimmer Posted May 21, 2006 CID Share Posted May 21, 2006 what version are you running? v.23sp1? Also make sure that you clicked enable... as you can add things but they may not enable them..

brock01 Posted May 21, 2006 CID Share Posted May 21, 2006 make sure the computer you want the port to be forwarded to is a static ip, not dhcp Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/13630-dd-wrt-port-forwarding/#findComment-146191 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted May 21, 2006 CID Share Posted May 21, 2006 It shouldnt release fast enough if this is just a temp setup.. if this is going to be used often.. then yeah statics are a must..

Swimmer Posted May 21, 2006 CID Share Posted May 21, 2006 sorry about the double post.. but from what it looks like pre rc6 sp1 this function had problems.. get the final release and the problem should go away.. when did you flash your router?

richcornucopia Posted May 21, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 21, 2006 Was the version you were using before able to forward ports correctly? That might be a last resort for me is to flash back to that one I guess.
