LS There is a built in NAT firewall in your ADSL Router, to get it to work with LW you will either have to activate UPnP, but because the implementation of UPnP between software and hardware vendors is patchy, it may not work. Alternatively, the option which most users prefer is port forwarding. Now, to get the correct instructions for your ADSL Router you must get back to this forum the make and model number, then you will be directed to the correct instructions. UK Bob |
Hi UK Bob Thanks for your time. The router is a Telkom South Africa product, ICASA approved. These are the details I can find: Serial No:68180102000028C7 Part No: A211-0307-01 WPA key:00:02:96:12:3A:00 Telkom Material No:6002635 EAN:6009503308037 I am now off to check the other Firewall threads, hope we can get this flying. Best regards. |
Hi again UK Bob I contacted the Marconi suppliers of my router and went through the procedures to drop the firewall on the modem. Would you like to know the procedures? I now have a strong connection to LW... Thanks again. |
Hi LS Your new found knowledge will be helpful to other forum members with the same modem router, so yes please let us know the procedure for dropping the firewall. UK Bob |
Premium Combo Can some one look on their modem and let me know the voltage on the transformer as I have just moved and it has gone astray , Im in Kenya so no visiting Telkom for me ?? Dave |
