Title: Can't download anything in my hub.
Post by: Noumenon on 06 July, 2004, 07:57:12

Hi.

I just recently moved the hub from a friends PC to mine.
I'm using a d-link di-714p+ router and I've placed my pc in the DMZ. I can connect to the hub on the internal ip, but I can't get any filelists etc, also, I can't connect to the adress nor the external IP.

What could be the problem?
I've tried opening the ports for PtokaX (333) in "Virtual Applications", but that doesn't change anything.

did you frorward your internal ip or external ip?

you will have to forwar your providers ip to your internal ip and then it should work .

Yeah, didn't work.
But then I tried de-activating the DMZ and then it all worked.

good, you shouldn't ever use DMZ anyway.
it's a fun name for something dangerous, demilitairyzed zone.
every incomming connection the router recieves and which it doesn't know what 2 do with it is send 2 that ip.
the result ad you can see is that that ip becomes wide open 2 the internet.
the router should protect you but by using this it won't.
