hsncorrosion Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I have a speedstream dsl modem/router I need my wireless laptop connected via a belkin wireless router to be open to several ports for bit torrent use. My internal ip address for my laptop is- 192.168.2.3 My internal ip for my gateway to the dsl modem is- 192.168.254.254 My internal ip for my gateway to the belkin wireless router is- 192.186.2.1 If I try to forward my dsl router/modem to my wireless ie: 192.168.2.1 I get this message: DMZ host IP address is not a valid LAN host address. So how can I forward ports through both routers into my laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothCriminal Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 At my house I have two routers set up one as a client one as a bridge, and I needed to forward some ports for xbox live. I simply forwarded them to the bridge and that worked. I did not fully grasp the set up, maybe I just read it wrong, can you be more in depth in the way your two routers are set up please.

Famicoman Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yeah forward the ports on your wireless router with the ip of the laptop, and port forward the ports on the modem with the ip of the wireless router Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 If its in the DMZ, it will already have all the ports that are not listed as being forwarded elsewhere directed to the 2nd router anyway. You should just be able to forward the ports in the 2nd router without issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 If I try to forward my dsl router/modem to my wireless ie: 192.168.2.1 I get this message: DMZ host IP address is not a valid LAN host address. it isn't a valid IP address. Your second router should have a DHCP range IP address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
