Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Common Problems and Solutions
application requires too many ports or when you are not sure which port services to use. Make sure you
disable all the forwarding entries if you want to successfully use DMZ hosting, since forwarding has priority
over DMZ hosting. (In other words, data that enters the Router will be checked first by the forwarding
settings. If the port number that the data enters from does not have port forwarding, then the Router will
send the data to whichever PC or network device you set for DMZ hosting.) Follow these steps to set DMZ
hosting:
A. Access the Router’s Web-based Utility by going to
http://192.168.15.1
or the IP address of the Router.
Go to the
Applications & Gaming
=>
Port Range Forwarding
tab.
B. Disable or remove the entries you have entered for forwarding. Keep this information in case you want to
use it at a later time.
C. Click the
DMZ
tab.
D. Enter the Ethernet adapter’s IP address of the computer you want exposed to the Internet. This will
bypass the NAT security for that computer. Please refer to “Appendix B: Finding the MAC Address and IP
Address for Your Ethernet Adapter” for details on getting an IP address.
Once completed with the configuration, click the
Save Settings
button.
11. I forgot my password, or the password prompt always appears when saving settings to the Router.
Reset the Router to factory default by pressing the Reset button for 30 seconds and then releasing it. If you
are still getting prompted for a password when saving settings, then perform the following steps:
A. Access the Router’s web interface by going to
http://192.168.15.1
or the IP address of the Router.
Enter the default password admin, and click the
Administration
=>
Management
tab.
B. Enter a different password in the
Router Password
field, and enter the same password in the second
field to confirm the password.
C. Click the
Save Settings
button.
