Hey Jay, You may need to Forward a Port to allow access through the DLink. Can you give the Model # of the Router. Also make sure you are giving Full access to LW through ZA.

DLink DI-604

Try this. Make sure you set up a Static IP Address First. Instructions are in the Link Below.
Port Forwarding for the Dlink DI-604

Also make sure you don't have Windows Firewall enabled.
Hope this Helps.

Hello,

Im also have the same problem.. Actually im using D-Link DSL-2540T and have done the port forwarding setting. But it not worked, why? Need more seting?

Anyone can help to solve my problem?

BTW: My window firewall is off.

P/S: Ok i'll suddenly solve it, just change the port no. to the different no.
