Hi,

Here is a website that i have but it to complicate for me to understand...http://portforward.com

 

Hey peacefull

Haha... I know I said to start a new thread, but if your question is concerning routers, the malware section of the afterdawn forums may not be the best place to post it.

However, I do have some knowledge of configuring routers. First of all, I need to know some stuff about your router.

1. What model is it?

2. Right-click on your wireless icon. Click on Status, and go to the tab Support. What is your default gateway?

Best Regards

 

Hi,
Sry for where i add this post didn't know where to put it.

I do not have a Wireless Icon....it call "Linksys wrt54g"
Also what is a gateway?...sry i am new with computer

 

Hey peacefull

Go to My Network Places, and click on View network connections. Right-click on your wireless icon. Click on Status, and go to the tab Support. What is the default gateway which is listed there?

Best Regards

 

where do i go and get that?
I am very sry i am very dum at this...lol

 

ok i think i got it not sure but let hope it this....is it call speedstream router?

 

Haha... no.

Ok. I will guide you step-by-step.

Go to My Network Places. This is usually in the Start menu. If you cannot find it, go to My Computer, and in the address bar, type in My Network Places.

Next, click on View network connections. This is usually somewhere to the left of the window.

There will be an icon with "wireless" in its name. Right-click on it. Click on Status, and then click on the tab Support.

Look at the information which pops up. There will be these words: Default Gateway:. What are the numbers next to it?

Best Regards

 

Hi,
sry but i do not have that at all...here is my email and maybe you can help me plz if it ok...lrjrr@hotmail.com

 

Hey peacefull

What do you not have?

PS: I just looked over your old posts, and if you want to mask your ip with your router, it isn't possible unless you have a super high-tech router, which linksys is not. Get a proxy or anonymizing software.

 

everything you just mention on top...i just made a icon of watever i thought it was but it not....in my star menu i do not have what you ask me for...

My router came with a CD so i just put it in and install never got a icon for it,but if i got on internet explorer and in the broser i will tap my ip and it will give me a page where i need to inter pass word and name then it will give me evything about the router but i can't not do it it to complicate for me.

 

what do you mean?Get a proxy or anonymizing software.?

 

Proxies and anonymizing software will mask your ip.

Proxies are in-between computers which you connect to, so that when you connect to anything else, it looks as if the in-between computer is the one which is connecting.

Anonymizing software will direct your connections to their own proxies, so that your ip will be different from your actual one.

Does this help?

Best Regards

 

ok i got this...

wen't to my network connection and on that page got Internet connection and local area connection so i click right on the 2 one and got this box saying....local area connection status on that they is....Adress type Assigne dhcp....ip adress....subnet mask....dafault gateway...

 

Yes... that's the one I'm looking for.

This is the step I was trying to get you to take. Without physical access to your router, I cannot help you configure it. What do you need to configure it for though?

Best Regards
