Port Forwarding

What exactly does the d/c message say? Do you see your IP address when you click on the d/c tab?

Have you enabled chat????? Tools > options > chat. Tick 'enable chat' & apply.
I can't believe I didn't ask you that before

I have chat enabled, and the message says "Your computer is behind a firewall or router and cannot receive direct connections." It doesn't show an IP.

Well I think it's time to try port forwarding then. Follow the directions here & you should be right, just don't forget that static IP address set up first!

Let us know if you run into problems

Well the first time that I tried port forwarding the configuration IP address didn't work. maybe that's part of the static thing... That means motionless, doesn't it?

EDIT: I can't find the static IP page...
EDIT:: I found a forum post...

Ok it would seem that you don't have to set up a static IP for your device!! For most modems & routers you do but if it's not on the portforward page then just follow their instructions! Forget the static IP I guess.


That default address lets me log into my router... are you sure you're typing it into the top text field in your browser?

I've checked with another site, that default address is right. When you type it into your browser it should pop up a box asking you for username (admin) & password (password).

I copied "192.168.1.1" into the address bar, and I get a "This page cannot be displayed" page.
The title says invalid syntax error...

I really don't know why! Maybe you need to go to Westell's customer support & tell them what's happening!

Sorry but I seriously don't have a clue.

I geuss I'll try customer support when some people are actually awake. For now, I am googling for other people with this problem. Thank you for all your hlp

EDIT: I looked in their manual, and it said to type either "http://dslrouter or http://192.168.1.1." I typed in "http://dslrouter" and it worked! I haven't been on the configuration screen in a long time, so I'm not sure if it is the right screen, but at least it's someting.

EDIT:: I am pretty sure that this was the screen that I saw in the past, but it is different than the port forwarding one. This extremely disappointing
