Re: DI-524 Firewall Problem (I Think) When you changed the PC IP address to static, it auto filled the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and you typed the default gateway 192.168.0.1 right?
What do you have on the primary and secondary DNS boxes on the same window for the static IP?
Try Primary DNS 4.2.2.1 and secondary DNS 4.2.2.2
To test if this is an issue with the ports, you can first disabled the ports you have opened on the DI-524.
Then, on the DI-524 to by-pass the firewall you need to go to Advanced, and then select DMZ.
You need to select the radio button to enable, and the IP address below should be same as your PC (192.168.0.136) and then apply the changes.
Finally, try removing the power to the router for about 10 seconds, just to be sure that the setting change was applied.
*DMZ removes the firewall to one computer, so this is the perfect test to find out if the problem is coming from the ports not being opened properly. |
