Did you read the manual? http://www.zyxel.com/DownloadLibary_ShortName/P-643/user_guide/P-643_2.50.pdf

yup. i try to do everything on my own and by reading posts before asking for help. this avoids asking questions that have already been answered.

Can you acess your router on the web interface at 192.168.1.1 ?
    "3.1 ... factory preset is 192.168.1.1 ...."

yes. i have changed the lan ip to 192.168.254.253. so the default no longer works.

Can you acces the web interface, the default password is 1234?

yes but not 1234 since my isp changed the password. i just used it's mac id instead.

What is the IP address assigned by the DHCP server for the PC HFS is running on"...starting from 192.168.1.33...to 192.168.1.64"? WinXP: Start, Run: cmd: ipconfig /all

dhcp has been disabled.

Did you read chapter 3.14.2 and following?

yup. i dont have to do anything there because my isp configured it for me.

What is the IP address in the router web interface menu 4 -Internet Access Setup-, (this is your outside address)?

you mean my wan ip?

If you want to get answers, you should also supply the information to help...

sorry. i thought i already did on my first and follow-up posts.

anyways, i've already requested my isp to change my router settings to a modem type. i guess this eliminates the port forwarding matter. i'll try later tonight what happens.

thanks all

btw, will my site supposedly be accessed immediately or do i have to wait for hour for my ip to propagate in the net?

@guest
your talking about the default. as portforward.com implied, by default its... and yes, its a first for me too if it changed by itself.

best regards

ok. i've finally talked to the sysadmin of my isp. according to the guy there should be no problem whatsoever. but he said i should install iss for it to work. and as far as i know iss is only available in winxp pro and not home.

anyway, i'll try installing xp pro on a spare hard drive and see what happens. in the mean time, i'm still hoping anyone here is using my brand and model of router who successfuly got it to work.

best regards

hello. sorry for the late reply. it was almost 2am in my country when i last posted.

@guest
192.168.0.1 is my computer's ip addy. 192.168.0.253 is my router's lan ip addy. 20.10.2.30 is my router's wan ip addy.

The 202.137.112.7 sounds more like your IP.

as far as i know that cant be used as a private ip addy. it should be non-routable like 192.168.x.x

@rejetto
yup. very sure.

if i'm gonna ask my isp, what will i be asking them? any specifics would really help. you know how tech supps are...

yea i guess but forwarding a port should be that easy, right? and there is only one entry: port==8080, address==192.168.0.1 and thats it.

btw, could it be possible that the problem is with my isp? like they have disabled or blocked something? if so, what could it be?

i also hope there are other users of prestige 643 here who are able to make the app work. inputs are highly appreciated.

best regards.

1. v2.1a build # 060

2. The test failed: server does not answer
    You are behind a router
    Ensure it is configured to forward port 8080 to your computer.

thanks

my router is zyxel prestige 643. i have followed the instructions in portforward.com but still no luck.

i have, say 192.168.0.1, is my computer's ip addy. then i have 2 other ips. with http://www.whatismyip.org/ it displays, say 20.10.2.30. and the other with www.dyndns.com is 202.137.112.7.

now, the ip addy 20.10.2.30, is i believe my router because i can access it outside my house (via the internet). i'm not sure what the 202.137.112.7 is but i can ping it even when my router is turned off (when i'm in a cybercafe or office). but under http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ it displayed as Proxy Server IP Address.

best regards

btw, if it helps, whenever i click 'find external address' it displays either the 20.10.2.30 or the 202.137.112.7

also, when i enter http://202.137.112.7/ it displays 'ther equested url could not be retrieved' but if i make it http://202.137.112.7:8080/ it shows 'page could not be displayed'

greetings!

i have done every possible way unfortunately i am unable to get the app to work. now, could it be any chance that the problem is my os? i'm currently using windows xp home with sp2 + all the latest updates except for ie7. could it be possible that the app will only work on xp pro with iss installed?

thanks all.
