Ok WRT54GS is a LINKSYS router. The stickie in this section of the forum will help you with Linksys and Network Everywhere routers. Its called Hope for Linksys Routers... Scrolling down and reading it you would see that Linksys and NWE use a feature called Block WAN Request, Number 5 on the list

[BDwinsAlt]

That doesn't affect my router. It can be enable or disabled and still work. Maybe they didn't perfect that feature on mine. I have a LinkSys BEFSR41.

Thats the same router I wrote that tut using and it was the reason the zone wouldn't come up green at all. Your lucky it works seeing as some programs need WAN info to access your comp.

[BDwinsAlt (dad pc)]

I did upgrade the firmware. That may have something to do with it.

[wEaViL]

Might of been auto disabled on the new update, dunno for sure. When I updated mine it still didn't work untill I called Linksys and they expalined the Block Wan Request feature to me.

[BDwinsAlt]

There are only two options on there (Enable and Disable). It shoudln't be hard. Why wouldn't someone want to allow wan connections?

No, just a power thing and a reset button (use a pin to reset it)

I thought I'd post here instead of creating a new thread, and I'm having the same problem.

My Wireless Router is D-Link WBR-1310, and I also have Efficient SpeedStream 5200 ADSL modem.
My ASSS zone uses port 11000, so I set the start port to 11000 and the end port to 11001. Traffic type is set to "any" (I figure though it should use UDP). And saved the settings, and still nothing.

I don't know if I'm suppose to or not, but I went in 'application rules' (an option to open single or multiple ports in your firewall...), and tried the same thing. But still no dice.

The one thing to note is I can't set the "ip address" in the port forwarding section to 127.0.0.1 (so I set it to what IP it says my computer uses, but also did the same for the ip Continuum says I use). And I still can't get it to show up on the Directory List. My zone is configured fine, but I can only get to it by manually typing 127.0.0.1 + name + port#)

I also run no firewalls, and am using windows XP media center edition. There's no "block WAN request" feature either. -- And yes, my directories are updated, and the zone might list for a second, but adding it will just give you a red/non-existing zone.

[wEaViL]

in the IP section you want the IP of the server comp not 127.0.0.1 becuase the router would just loop it back to itself. So setting it as your IP the router gives you is correct. Try this and see if it works.

Go to http://www.noip.com and create a no-ip free service account. You'll make a web addy like myserver.noip.com and download there ip live update program. Then in the server.ini file change the server ip to the webaddy you made on the site. The ip updater will run when windows boots and keep your ip current all the time so when it changes ASSS won't need a new ip added to the ini or conf... whatever it uses. That may even help with your problem. Its not uncommon for a zone to not show up green on the host comp. As long as it shows up for people outside of the network router your all set to go. Just add the custom zone like you've done.

BTW they have windows, mac, and linux versions of the updater in the downloads section.

[wEaViL]

Ok, so can we have a update??? Did you fix it, if so what was wrong' if not whats it doing? Would be nice to know for future helping

[Hakaku]

Yeah, haven't had any time to try it out, maybe later this weekend I'll post my results.
