Port forward refuses to work

[Nanobyte]

his settings, as they appear should work, but there's no need to specify all the manual stuff (especially the DNS...which could change). I just took the simpler option (and since the way he did it hadnt worked...the alternative option)

Thanks. I was trying to get what Massy2k had set up to work and it seemed workable. I was wondering from your strategy whether you had to create a static DHCP rather than static IP with this router. Once you use MAC addresses the network is less flexible. The DNS changing is an issue going the static IP route. Why you can't specify a static IP address in TCP/IP properties but still use the automatic DNS of the Internet connection - the option is greyed out?
