Router Bridge port forwarding.

KageOni · 06-05-2007, 12:46 AM

I recently set up a wireless router as a wireless network bridge. (thanks to techsupportforums.com) Now I need to forward a port from a comp that is connected to the second router, out to the internet.

Router one is connected to the internet. It's IP is 192.168.1.1
Router two is wirlessly connected to router one forming a bridge. It's IP is 192.168.1.129

A computer is connected to router two and is at IP 192.168.1.150. It needs to forward port 52522 for torrents.

I thought I might need to forward port 192.168.1.150 on router two and 192.168.1.129 on router one, but that didn't work.

Am I way off base?

You shouldn't have to do anything to the secondary router, it doesn't have a NAT layer running. All the port forwarding will be done on the primary router.

Maybe I shouldn't, but I have tried leaving the Second Router be and just forwarding on the First, but Utorrent's port checker is giving me the red light.
