Speedstream 4200 port forwarding problem w/ PS2/3, won't allow online hosting
Ok, I have a Linksys WRT54G router as well as a Speedstream 4200. Every time I try forwarding ports to the Static IP of my PS3 I get this error message:
NAPT Server IP address is not a valid LAN host address. And whenever I try it with the DMZ, I get this error message: DMZ host IP address is not a valid LAN host address. Unplugging the one ethernet cord on my Speedstream will kick me offline on here, so I do I fix this where I can be online on my computers, and my game systems at the same time? And allow me to host my own games online. Help would be VERY appreciated. |

You have two NAT layers, which makes port forwarding a real issue. Configure the 4200 in bridge mode to bypass it's NAT layer, then just manage the port forwarding on the Linksys.

Ok, theres a problem, I have 3 computers, it says to hook the modem to my computer, but if I unplug the one cord plugged into the modem, I lose internet on all 3 computers, so how do I do this?

You plug the cord from your computer DIRECTLY into the modem for the configuration steps, then you can reconnect the router.

So wait, to do this, I need to knock myself offline? Then after done configuring I can rehook everything back up the way it was?

Well, you're turning the modem/router into a standard modem. So, you'll have to reconfigure the router to connect to a PPPoE device, and you may have to enter the account name/password in the WAN configuration of the router as well, depending on your specific DSL account requirements.

Re: Speedstream 4200 port forwarding problem w/ PS2/3, won't allow online hosting
Ok, I put the Speedstream in bridge mode, but when I hit enable, I lost internet. So when I went onto the Linksys, I put in the username/password for the PPPoE, I still didn't have internet, so what is the problem?

Did you configure for PPPoE in the WAN section of the router? Are you sure it's not PPPoA?
Do you get a connect light on the modem?
