Port Forwarding: Two routers (Ationtec and Linksys)

zgeneralz · 03-12-2008, 03:48 PM

Ok, this issue is driving me crazy, ive tried a million things. Here is my network setup: Actiontec(incoming internet)--->Linksys(routes internet to two different computers)--->My computer : )

The problem i am having is trying to forward ports 5800 and 5900 to my computer so i can remotely connect using TightVNC. The actiontec router has the ip 192.168.0.1, the linksys has the ip 192.168.1.1, my computer has the ip 192.168.1.101. How can i get incoming connections to route to my computer through these two routers? I have port forwarded before when i was jsut using the actiontec, it was simple, but now that i have two computers i need the linksys router but it seems like its a roadblock for port forwarding. How do i get these two routers to cooperate in port forwarding? Any help/directions would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Nevermind, after 12 hours of continuous configuration and tinkering i finally figured it out. But hey, thanks for the abundant amount of responses!

Maybe you should try a chatroom next time, this isn't real-time support. Most of us have other lives and jobs that come first.
