Solved: Port forwarding through 2 routers?

[old_forum_computermadness]

Hey, i apollogize in advanced if this gets confusing.
I'm trying to forward ports for bitcomet and warcraft, the primary desktop is hooked up to a Westell Ultraline Series 3 Model 9100EM (A90-9100EM15-10)
we have verizon FiOS 20/5

this is where it gets complicated to me, the main computer connected to the westell has neither Bitcomet or Warcraft, the computer that has both the programs i need the ports forwarded for is my laptop, my laptop is a bit old and it doesnt have a wireless card, so i installed DD-Wrt on my linksys wrt54g so that it may run in client mode and work as a wireless card, catch my drift?

so it goes:
Desktop>>westell (((( wireless ))) Wrt54g>>Laptop

i have already set up portforwarding for the linksys and made exceptions in my firewall, now my problem is setting up the port forwarding for the westell router. Simply put i dont know COMPLETELY how, when it comes to the "Local Host" "Local Address" and "Network Address"
i'll post some screen shots.

here's a link to a post of the same router

Here's the main page of the Westell

Port Forwarding section

Here's where i get confused

it's confusing to me because i dont know what ip's to use, i set up a static on my laptop, but not the main, i'm just lost at this point :'(

#1 You could follow: Knowledge Base › Using a Second router as a Switch/Hub/WAP

OR perhaps you already did?

#2 In the Westell go to Advanced -> IP Address Distribution.

#3 What is the DHCP Range of the router?

#4 Do not select or fill in the Specifiy Public IP Address.

#5 The Network IP Address, will be the IP Address of the computer that you want to host on.

#1 You could follow: Knowledge Base › Using a Second router as a Switch/Hub/WAP

sorry, i'm not very good with terminology, if i would have know WAP stands for Wireless Access Point i would have read it yesterday :o

#2 the DHCP range is 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254

#4 If i check the "specify network address" box another box pops up prompting me for an IP, do i leave it unchecked and type in the HOST ip in the "Local Host: field?



also on the Knowledge Base › Using a Second router as a Switch/Hub/WAP post step #7 it calls for us to plug in an ethernet cable to LAN ports on both routhers, does it need to be left like this? if so it's not an option for me :(

*the pictures on that thread are no longer working

[old_forum_tedtrp]

Ok.

#1 In the Westell Ultraline Series 3 Model 9100EM (A90-9100EM15-10) change the DHCP Range so that it is...

192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.254

#2 With the DD-WRT, you could then followhttp://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged

#3 If you do follow that dd-wrt wiki:

a) Change the LAN IP of the DD-WRT to 192.168.1.2

b) On your computer you setup the Static IP of 192.168.1.3
http://www.portforward.com/networking/staticip.htm

c) In the Westell, you would forward to 192.168.1.3

will the static be set up on the desktop or my laptop?

[old_forum_The_Nephilim]

On the computer that you are using Bitcomet/WC3 on ;)

[old_forum_computermadness]

:D ;D :D :D i am forever grateful, ran PFportchecker and it says my port is open, now one lastt question, i open the port for both TCP and UDP correct?

[old_forum_tedtrp]

Bitcoment, according to the guides uses TCP.

WC3, according to the guides use TCP and UDP.

However, I do not use those programs so I can not tell you if that is correct or not.

[old_forum_computermadness]

problem solved, any way of marking this thread as solved?

thanks :]
