I added a D-Link DIR-300 between my previously working PC / Motorola Surfboard cable modem.

Now I don't get a working connection.

I used a different thread
http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...dir-655-a.html

and tried the same advice (Port Forwarding for the Dlink DIR-655)

I downloaded the port checker http://www.portforward.com/store/PFP...cker1.0.28.exe
and got the all clear, so according to that I have successfully set up port forwarding on my router.

So why does it still not work?

WRT the "standard q's" see next post - this problem is specifically about the D-Link DIR-300 I'm pretty sure.

On the Australian "Whirlpool" forum (whirlpool.net.au) they have suggested an alternative firmware for the router (WRT blah blah). I don't want to do this without a serial connection because I don't want to brick the router.

Any/all advice appreciated.
