Router : Linksys WRT54G with HyperWRT V2.0
Modem : Aztech DSL600E
OS : WindowXP SP1

If i use dynamic IP (DHCP) for my pc then no problem, i want to do port forwarding so i set up static IP and forward the MSN port as told at the www.portforwarding.com, after that everything is running good, but just the Hotmail and MSN are inaccessible. I did some search and people say enable the UPNP but i dont want to because i think thats too risky... so any method to solve this problem?? thanks in advance...

its because streamyx having problem now ..... if u using 219 ip ....

why do you need to port forward?

i'm behind WRT54G also, all machines can use MSN Messenger no problem.

aiks so bad.....

I am using WRT54G , and I dont even need to port forward to allow MSN Messenger to work. If i enable it , MSN Messenger signs on really fast , if I disable it , it just takes 15-20 sec to sign on. Why not try to enable uPnP on , just to see that if that thing works or not. If it does not , then you should disable it

OK!! i try that after the internation line back on XD. Me here 3:40pm down.....

Oh , I am not sure if your Frimware supports Static DHCP or not. But DD-WRT does

So all you have to do is put your MAC Address of the PC , and then the router will assign a Static IP to it. Everytime , you dont even have to set it in your PC. The router does that for you

msn n hotmail not able to access bcoz of streamyx international link is down...
this affects ip range 219.95.***
websites such as yahoo, tomshardware and all international sites affected.
call streamyx @ 1300-88-9515 to report.


im using 218 and works fine now...

3. connection troubleshooter
4. click 'START'
5. wait for a minute
6. Key Port -> FAILED
7. click 'repair'

prasys : i switch to DD-WRT and using static DHCP working very good now thanks.....

then you port forward your BT port only. MSN Messenger no need to be port forwarded.
