Re: Can't open ports on my router
so i read around and it looks like i need to get the static IP option for hughesnet if i want to forward ports. The funny thing is, i called hughesnet and told them i was having trouble forwarding ports and this is what the woman told me:
Call Linksys (i told her that was my router make) and give them these numbers to help you get setup. (She didn't have any clue what the numbers were for, she was just reading them from a screen). The numbers are as follows:
ip address
192.168.0.2
subnet
255.255.255.0
default gateway
192.168.0.1
dns
xx.xx.xx.xx
xx.xx.xx.xx
At that point i took it upon myself to change my Automatic Configuration - DHCP setup in my router to a Static IP setup, and i filled in the blanks with those numbers that she gave me. My connection seems to be running strong now but i still cannot forward ports. Are those number she gave me for a static IP or what!? |

| Those numbers are both the default for LinkSys and HughesNet's network settings. You don't have to use that IP address. And yes, you will need the static IP plan. If you're going to use a router with that, you'd be best off setting each client to a static IP behind the router so you don't have to change the IP the port forwards to.
