stix01 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 So I'm far from even what I'd call competent with networking. I have the following -WHS 2011 -Cisco E4200 Router -Netgear Router / Modem Please don't try to tell me to change this arrangement as I really cant. so I know that I have a double nat. The IP of my router is 192.168.0.2 (the E4200) My WHS is displaying my IP as 192.168.0.2 I've tried opening the ports on my Cisco and forwarding them to 192.168.0.1 (IP of my netgear modem) I really don't know what else to do. I also have forwarded ports on my netgear. Can someone tell me how to actually get remote access working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I think more info is required. You haven't said how the devices are interconnected, nor what the 2 routers are doing. What is the purpose of having 2 routers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technogod Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Can you set the Netgear Router / Modem as a gateway and the Cisco E4200 Router as a router? I run DD-WRT on my routers. The setting is located at Setup/Advanced Routing/Operating Mode. The E4200 is supported. Here's a link http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_E4200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 That's just one of the questions that made me ask for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix01 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 That's just one of the questions that made me ask for more info. My ADSL modem doesn't support any other modes and I lose a whole bunch of functionality if I change my e4200 to bridged. So basically I'm running in the only possible config with this modem/router and router. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essexraptor Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) basically the ADSL Netgear Router/Modem has to be in Modem only mode to become the default gateway for your network.... you then set the Cisco to act as the router and let that give out the IP's for the rest of your network................... if you say you can't do this then ... it's a non starter take the Cisco out and let the Netgear do router duties alone and then set up remote access in the normal way dashboard > server settings > remote web access .... etc Edited March 16, 2014 by Essexraptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stix01 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 So I finally figured out where to track down some firmware to get me running in PPPOE mode. The moment this was solved I just popped some port forwards on.. and boom it worked. My internet access is a little bit snappier also... very glad and now also I can feel that my netgear isn't heating up much before it used to get so hot it concerned me.

stix01 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 I had to get my old ISP in New Zealand to give me a copy of new firmware for my netgear that was made for them. Ports 80/443 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ports 80/443 Thanks... this firmware allowed you to change the netgear to modem mode and the rest of the set up was achieved as per normal ? Glad you achieved a successful outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
