-Thanks Peter. By coincidence I just came back from posting at portforwarding.com, they have helped me before. Here is what I posted there, it may give you some additional insight in to what I have do so far.
.................. snip My PC's network settings are set-up to obtain an IP and DNS address automatically (cable company does not use static IP addresses). My Linksys router is setup to obtain IP address automatically and the local DHCP server is enabled. I have limited the range the router can hand out to... 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.139 I have set port forwarding options as follows: Start End Protocol IP 5198 5200 BOTH 192.168.1.140 23 23 TCP 192.168.1.141 I checked the "enable" box. I have firewalls currently disabled. So, anyone have any idea where I am screwing up? Is simply specifying 192.168.1.140 in the port forwarding area enough to create this IP address or to I have to tell my Router to do something else to make an IP address of 192.168.1.140 ?
