Re: D link 604 t router modem.
Hi,
ok then. Managed to get the quesries as far as the router login screen and thats it.
Also, have found out that were ona consumer package, so another question is that do I have to have a static IP address to forwrd queries through standard TLD's? as were currently using a dynamic IP issued by the ISP.
but eventhen, how do the queries to this ip get forwarded to the router?
This is really baffling me adn doing my nut in now as there is physically nothing wrong with the system at all, the router is simply not forwrding the queries relevant to the rules createe in the port forwarding section!!!
HELP!!!

so after a recap on the problem, any ideas?
Sounds like a port forwarding issue from what you're describing here. I've setup servers before and it's usually as simple as forwarding the needed ports and you're done.
I set this up with a D-Link router, actually.

This doesn't make sense. What queries? Just trying to access the computer via a web address? If so, again, usually that ability to modify your router is turned off by default and I'd recommend that. Secondly, it sounds like port forwarding is not properly setup.

It's best to have a static address otherwise you'll have to change your IP with your nameserver to forward your domain name to it everytime it changes (however, if it never gets turned off it most likely won't change much (with my ISP it never changes, it's virtually static as I've had the same IP for almost 2 years now)). However, dynamic should still work.
Like mentioned before, it sounds like port forwarding is not properly setup on your router and I'd recommend getting a professional to configure your network. That and/or maybe look at getting a business/professional grade router rather than a consumer D-Link product as I've heard of issues with D-Links restarting when their hit with too much traffic.

Re: D link 604 t router modem.
Hi,
right
ive established that you dont need a static ip but it helps. Fact is that the server never gets switched off so the IP will likely never change at all, but if it does, ive got this covered anyhow.
it is a port forwrading issue and the router is configured incorrectly (possibly) but I cant see where. NAT and Firewall are enabled, DMZ is set and allowed for the internal IP address, ICMP and Ping Aloowed and enabled, port forwarding is set for the correct ports that are running for IIS, yet still public computers are not able to view or connect to this server, and computers that are members of the domain are sent directly to the router login!!!
What the hell is going on with this..
