open ports on d-link 614+

[lobo_pac]

exactly how do block/open ports? i'm new to the networking thing and i need to open several ports on my built in firewall for an online game i play (america's army). i'm having trouble finding many open servers and getting many authorization errors, one of the trouble shooting techniques stated it could be a problem with the firewall.....i've just recently upgraded to dsl and use a d-link 614+ router

when i open the settings for the firewall, it gives me source and destination ip addresses and the port range.

i have dsl using pppoe; even though i have dynamic ip, my ip has stayed the same with the router.

do you have the latest firmware installed onto the router?



this should help you forward ports

thanks for the link. not sure if i have the latest firmware or not. i assume not because i just installed it. how do i get/install the latest firmware? most likely i can find it on d-link's site, but if you have a quick link i'd appreciate it. does the latest firmware speed up the wan to 44mbps if used with the + d-link pcmcia card? i thought i read that somewhere.

i cant give you a direct link to the download because there is two different verison of the 614+
