I have a linksys WRT54G router connected to a beetel 110TC2 modem. I want to get a static ip address for port forwarding. Can anybody tell me how to get a static ip and how to do port forwarding?
 
Solution


Here is a page which covers any OS you can think of for static IP addresses. Here is their overview on port forwarding.
 


i have tried to set static address from the link you posted but it is not working, my ip is still dynamic. I guess the problem is that I have my router connected to a modem, so it is not working.The link u send gives information about setting ip address on a single router.I m facing another problem too: when I look for my DNS server in command prompt it shows two DNS servers : 218.248.255.212 and 218.248.255.139 where as my router shows only one DNS server : 192.168.0.1 where my shows different DNS servers : 218.248.255.211 and 218.248.255.210. What to do?
 


I misinterpreted your hardware. I thought that your Beetel was JUST a modem. Now that I have looked it up, I see that it is a router + modem. Now that I understand that, are you trying to create a static IP on the WAN port of the WRT54G, the Beetel device, or some other host?

Is your WRT setup to be a wireless access point or is it setup as a router?
 


I don't understand what actually are you trying t say. I am new to this and i've never done this before. Can you explain it in a simpler way?Actually I want to create a static internet ip so that i can portforward. Most probably I have a router not an access point.Can u help me using windows remote assistance. I am running windows 8.1



 


Lets see if we can start over ...

WHAT is it you are trying to do? You said you want to port forward. What application, and where is it running?

WHY do you have the WRT54G connected? Are you using it JUST for wireless access or do you have wired computers hooked to it?

HOW is the device you want to port-forward connected? Wireless? Wired to the Beetel? Wired to the WRT?
 


Actually I have a computer and a laptop at my home. The computer is connected to the modem by a cable(I guess it is called ethernet cable). The modem is connected to the router by another ethernet cable. My laptop is connected to the router wirelessly. I want to port forward to my laptop.To do portforwarding first of all I need a static IP address and I am unable to get it.
 


Step 1 -- Convert your WRT54G to an Access Point. Your Beetel device is your primary router, your Linksys is just being used for wireless.
ASSUMING that all works you should still be able to get to the internet from your wireless devices.

IF it goes wrong, then you have to Factory Reset your router and reset your wireless SSID and security info.

Step 2 -- Go back to the original article I linked and set a static IP for your LAPTOP. That is required so that the port forward we setup on the Beetel knows where to go.

Step 3. This guide shows how to port forward on your Beetel router.
