UPDATE: I moved my DLink router IP over to 192.168.0.2
Now when I type 192.168.0.2 it takes me to the DLink Router config (as expected) When I type in my static IP address (205.208.XXX.XXX) it takes me to my ActionTec broadband modem config....is that right? Now, there is still another IP address, isn't there? The one that my DLink is using to connect to my ActionTec modem. That is the part I am not sure about. So I need an answer to that part, plus I still need to get VNC working. But the good news is that for the FIRST TIME....I can get to the firewall config for both my DLink Router and my ActionTec broadband modem WITHOUT having to disconnect any cables. I'm so excited. -----Original Message----- From: coulter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 25, 2004 6:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Tom Knowlton Subject: RE: router config to work with VNC As noted by other posters your diagram is incomplete. However what if does tell me is that you have two devices - namely the Actiontec modem and the D-link router - with the same IP address namely 192.168.0.1 (you say it in words in some of the supporting text but it is not shown in the diagrams). First you can't have two devices with the same IP address and not expect problems. Plus your Dlink must be getting very confused -- it's supposed to be a router, by definition a router routes! Usually between different sub-nets!! :-) But as it is seeing the same IP address 192.168.0.1 on each of its port (both WAN-side and LAN-side) it's likely not a happy bunny. For me the easiest way to solve this is to put the modem and the router on different sub-nets as follows: leave the modem on 192.168.0.1 (the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 sub-net) and put the router on a completely different sub-net. So that it is very clear which is which make them very different, thus I suggest putting the router on the 10.0.0.0 / 255.255.255.0 (although really anything other than 192.168.0.x will do). The router being the DHCP server then dishes out LAN IP address to this revised sub-net. The very first consequence of this will be that you can access both devices via IE using their now different IP addresses without having to be disconnect the devices every now and again! ;-) Once you get this difficulty between modem and router sorted you may be able to progress with VNC issues. Set up port-forwarding on each device now as appropriate.
