Ok Rod, I'm going to walk you through it with a D-Link router
First, following the instructions in your REPLAY manual determine the
MAC address of your replay, This requires you PING the replay from your
computer and then type a command on the computer, do both of these in a
COMMAND prompt
To PING the replay you simply type something like this PING
192.168.0.110 (This assumes 192....110 is the address of the replay)
Hopefully the PING command completes quickly
The next command you type in the COMMAND PROMPT window is ARP -A
This will return the MAC address of the Replay You need this, write it
down.
Now, Open your browser and point it to 192.168.0.1 (the router)
Enter your admin name and password (You must know the password, if you
do not know the password visit your router's manual)
I am going to assume, from the IP address you gave earlier, your router
is a D-Link same as mine (I think you said it's a D-Link)
On the first page there is a button labeled DCHP, Click on it, and when
it loads Go down to the part called STATIC DCHP, Click on ENABLED
In the next box type the name of your Replay, something like
Livingroom-RTV (Need not be the same as the replay's internal name)
Below that enter the IP address suffex you wish (I'm going to use 110)
and click on APPLY, In a few seconds you will have static IP set up, now
go to your Replay and refresh it's IP settings, you should see it's now 110.
IF so, we move on to sept 2, PORT FORWARDING
Back to the browser and go to the top of the page (press the HOME key)
click on the tab marked ADVANCED.
Click on ENABLED once again, in the first box type the name of your
replay, (Same as on the DCHP page) and in the next it's private IP (Same
as on the DCHP page but this time you have to type all 4 elements)
In the next box choose BOTH and in the next two boxes type the port
number you wish to forward, Same number in both boxes. Choose the
"ALWAYS" radio button on the SCHEDULE part and once again APPLY
When the screen returns you should see the list of virtual server lines
has gotten longer by one,,,, that one being the one you just created,
and it should be checked (We hope)
If all this works go back to the top of the page, click on the router's
TOOLS tab then on the SYSTEM button and save the router settings (This
saves them to a file on your computer in case they get "lost") Backups
are nice, if you don't do this step you will, some day, wish you had.
Trust me, I've heard a lot of folks say "My _____ Has not crashed" and
the best thing you can do when they say that is add "Yet".
Next step is the fun one... Go to the IVS test site and test
Good luck, let me know if you need more help. A private E_mail with
your phone number and best time to call if all else fails (My local
calling area is 49 states and a possession or two) I can be reached
(at)arrl(dot)net and my user id is wa8yxm I hope you can figure it out
