Re: Can't open ports on my router
Well if these are my router settings:
Internet Connection Type:
Static IP
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
And my static IP that i assigned on my computers connection is as follows:
ip address
192.168.1.201
subnet
255.255.255.0
gateway
192.168.1.150 --router
dns
xx.xx.xx.xx
Then i want to forward my ports to 192.168.1.201? If i do that they still appear closed... Do i need that static IP service from Hughes? |

1 edit | Yes, I've said that in each post. You can't do any of this without static IP. You're going to want to change the "Internet Connection" portion of the router to DHCP, though, when you get the Static IP. Then, I'd recommend you set it static after you check what address it gets and the info from the modem. Not necessary, but might save you some trouble down the road.
192.168.0.201 is the address you'll want to forward the ports to.
Most important thing: Static IP service from HughesNet.

@direcpc.com | Sorry, my mistake. You didn't make it totally clear that i needed the service. Kind of made it sound like there was a work around for forwarding ports. Thanks for you help. I'll look into all of that. |
