I have a linskys EQ-660R ADSL Router and i am trying to make my NAT type open. I've got UPnp and checked all boxes...nothing happened. here i will give u my options on the advanced menu. (Password) (LAN) (WAN) (NAT) (Dynamic DNS) (Time and Date) (Firewall) (Remote Managerment) (UPnp). NAT just has SUA under it wher i can do START PORT NUMBER END PORT NUMBER and IP ADDRESS. So i was wondering if i need a new router? or if their is anything i can do to fix it
You need to set wan type to PPPOE for ADSL ADSL has one IP address coming out of your building to the ISP How does it connect many internal computers to just one outgoing IP address you may wonder. It uses different port numbers for each computer on the same ip address via a PPPoe connection . http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/definition/PPPoE if still stuck call your isp for help you will most likely need dynamic IP for the isp ip and DNS /
