I need some help. I have DSL internet with Bell South. I have a Westell Modem 6100 and a Linksys Router WRT54G. I am trying to set up my computer so I can transfer files. I installe a program WWW File Share Pro. I forwarded port 80 in both the modem and router and still can't get it to work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

To avoid some problems that may or may not exist with your connection, we'll use the port 81 instead. Now, forward port 81 to your pc from your router/modem. Then go into Control Panel > Network Connections > Your LAN Adaptor's properties, and make sure Windows' Firewall is allowing 'WWW File Share Pro' to access the internet.

Try looking up your router and modem on this site(make sure you include the model #, for example "linksys wireless g broadband router, etc.:\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/\nsometimes they will have the instructions on how to configure your router.

Do you have a network card in your computer, or included with the existing computer board?  You need to run a host computer and have a network card in it, then it helps to control the router so you can contact other computers.\n\nI run my high-speed Internet connection into my cable router box, and then into my router.  I then run a wire to my PC Computer, and put a wireless card in my notebook.\n\nThis may help:\nThen you need a network card for each machine.  These cards talk with the router, and through it the modem, and then the Internet.  If you buy a wireless router then you will be paying more for that.  You will also need wireless cards to get the wireless benefit.  A wireless network is good if you have a portable machine (notebook) or if you don’t want to feed wires all over your house.  I use a wireless network and a wireless card for my notebook, and then I use a wire and wired card to connect my PC, since I don’t move it around.  I placed the modem near the PC to keep the wire short.  So it is possible to mix a wired connection and a wireless connection if you buy a wireless router.  I use a Linksys system with Linksys cards.  For the best performance I would make sure that my cards and router are from the same company.  (Linksys.com--routers:  http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1115417027773&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FvisitorWrapper) (Linksys downloads:  http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Content_C1%26cid%3D1115416835852%26site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FvisitorWrapper)\n\nThick walls, like brick or concrete blocks, can block a wireless connection but the signal can still get through the walls (or the windows) and be received outside the house.  If this happens then it is possible for someone to hitch hike on your network and get free network access.  If you have a wireless router than it might be wise to get a firewall program to prevent people from entering your machine.  With a wired connection you system will be more secure, but you sacrifice the portability.  If you live in a residential area then few network hounds will try to steal your broadband connection.  I use Zone Alarm, which includes Cookie control and anti-spyware software.  It costs $40 per year (http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_zap.jsp;jsessionid=EuaAEjwOb8Z3Czd62TO1PO38fnQ0zqVFQd5S8NLKVTzzeq3rakI8!1792791820!-1062696904!7551!7552!NONE?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en)\n\nInstall the cards in the computers.  With a notebook computer you can put the network card inside one of the slots on the computer, you don’t have to take it apart.  For a PC you have to take off the cover and plug in the new network card.\n\nThen go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Dial up Connections > Make new Connection.  Then follow the wizard.  If a driver is required then it will be included with the router, but usually they don’t need drivers.\n\nIf this is beginning to sound too complicated then you should get a computer pro to do it for you.  Best Buy offers the Geek Squad who will come out to your home to set things up, but it will cost more.  It is the best option though.  If you can bring both computers, cards, and router to a dealer then you can set the network up there, in their shop.  Then when you come home you can connect the network router to your modem.  This should work, but I can’t guarantee it.\n\nYou can buy the equipment on-line or buy it through eBay, but you will have to set up the Network yourself.  If you go to a computer store and purchase the equipment there then the salesman can give you advice on which system to buy and some hints on how to set it up.  It would be smart to either bring in your computers or to bring in a card from each machine to make sure that you get the proper network cards.  Most computer stores have an in-store-shop that can set up your network there.\n\nIf y

Let's take this one step at a time starting with the Modem/Router issue.  When you connect the modem to the router you are using an RJ45 connection?  This should allow the router to connect to your ISP.\n\nNext you should be connecting your computer to the router, either wired or wireless.  I would start out wired with another RJ45 connection.\n\nYou said "I have been trying to set up one of my computers as a server"; what did you want this computer to do as a server?  Is this suppose to provide your intranet with IP information, DNS, sign on authentication, or are you planning it to host your web set to the world?  Each of these is a different function and do not effect your connecting the router and modem to the Internet.

Make sure to check the router option to connect automatically.\n\nIt is the first element in the WAN setup options screen.\n\nIf that doesn't solve it, make sure both the router and modem are connected to a good regulating power bar.  \n\nThis said, don't expect industrial quality for 50$.

Yes, you need another router. It will the fastest and most efficient way to do this. There is software you could install that allows it to be done through one of the computers, but it is a nightmare and you would always have to have both machines on. With the prices of Internet Broadband routers these days, why even bother.\n\nI won't fill up this page with the "How-to", so please take a look here:\n\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1114037291160&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper

I think that your are correct in thinking that everything is fine. Especially if both of you can get on the Internet.\n\nIF your ADSL modem is also acting as a router (which I guessing it does), \nAND both you and your sister's computers have DHCP enabled* \nTHEN everything is configured for you automatically!\n\nIn fact, you can connect more computers to your new switch and they will be configured automatically for the Internet as well.\n\n* Note: DCHP is what allows your computers to be automattically configured by your router. Windows 2000, XP and recent verions of the Mac OS have this installed as a standard option.

To pull the router page on comp type 192.168.1.1 in the add bar . Leave the user feild blank and the password is "admin"\n.Once u get the page choose DHCP  configurration ,If the modem is in bridge mode.The upload and download is no ware related to the router . Contcat your ISP for that.

DSL SHOULD be connected automatically when Windows starts as long as the modem is turned on and connected to the computer.  I don't know why it wouldn't. Perhaps you should try reinstalling the connection. If you have Windows XP, using the Network connection setup may help.

Do you have a Wireless adapter on the first computer? In that case you may have to install this in ad-hoc mode and setup the Internet sharing. If you do not have a wireless adapter in the first one, then you cannot do this.\n\nThe best way to setup wireless networking is to buy a wireless router and connect it to the DSL modem. Connect the first computer to the wireless router using the existing LAN cable. Now configure your second computer to work with the Wireless router.

preferences > connection > make sure everything is set right. But i just checked mine, I have DSL but it was set on dial-up, but it still works lol. probably the main thing though is about the proxy. Mine was set on No proxy, which is the default setting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G\n\nUpdate the firmware from 3rd party.  Much better than linksys firmware.  All your troubles will be gone.  Best firmware HyperWRT.  Did I mention it was free?  You need v4 routers or less.  Linksys did a bad thing and downgraded their routers with v5.

Yes more than likely the problem is ports being blocked by your router. Remember if you forward the ports on your router that you still need to allow them if you are running a software firewall also (zonealarm, windows xp firewall etc...) \nPort forwarding must be enabled on the TCP port 80. \n• Port forwarding must be enabled on the TCP port 2300. \n• Port forwarding must be enabled on the UDP ports that are in the range of 2300 to 2310 from your router to the computer that is hosting the game.

hook up the 2 machines using ethernet port or wireless to your router port on its LAN side. On the WAN side of the router, connect your ADSL line from the phone line using phone cable. you should be all set.

It should automatically share the internet. Why are you running aol dialup broadband? With this router you should be able to just connect on demand. Make sure the router is setup for adsl and you have the correct username and password. Then make sure both computers are set for dhcm, and the lan side of the router is setup as a dhcp server.

use a switch or hub , and connect all of them  whit your computer , and configure your adsl conection in wndows to allow he other conection use that .

Well first off you need to forward the correct ports to the FTP server inside of the router. Port 25 is all you should need to forward so just look for Port Forwarding in the router pages. Now setup a FTP server on the PC with the IP address you just setup in the router.
