What ip addressing is the Linksys using (the network address, start, stop and subnet mask).

My first thought was a security feature in the browser, like an add-on
or something similar like blocked popups or third party cookies,
providing you were using FF, but you said you tried with IE too and the
behaviour is the same, so probably that's not the case.

Another possibility may be that the version of java required by that
particular page is not the one you're using. Happened to me with an
older network device and after I downgraded the java version all worked
without a hitch.

Also give Seamonkey or Chrome a try.

Or it may be that the interface didn't like the parameters you entered
but doesn't fire any error messages to tell you why. I had something
like that with an old Thomson where it turned out that to specify the
network range you had to put the sufix for its range (e.g.
192.168.1.0/24) but there was no place for /24 in the web interface. So
to make it work I had to save the current configuration file, modify it
to my liking and then upload it to make the desired changes. The clue
for me there was that there was no place on that page where to define
the network mask - google was helpful here, I was not the only one in
that situation.
Give it a try, but be careful because if you make a major mistake you'll
have to reset it by hand and start all over again with its setup.


HTH,
Adrian

Hi, I replaced my aged and failing dsl router with a TP-Link TD-8840T. I attempt making this sufficiently on topic by mentioning it connects to my trusty linksys wrt54gl and on to various linux boxes primarily my mythtv back and front ends, and mint desktop.

Efforts to set up port forwarding fail simply in that the "save" button, while appearing to click, just will not function to actually save a set of start/end ports, protocol and destination IP address that is entered.  This device is fairly close to the factory settings, only having changed the LAN IP addressing to be 10.1.1.0/8 so as to be different from the network inside the linksys.  NAT is enabled on the relevant virtual circuit, I am using the "virtual servers" section under Advanced Settings > NAT on page 24, 25 of the manual below if that is helpful for anyone wanting to see what I see.  I've attempted numerous variations of port numbers, protocol, using built in "application" combo box or custom entry, and am yet to see an entry appear in the listing of rules.

I have already updated to the latest firmware, tried multiple browsers (even resorting to using IE) all to no avail.  My googling fails to find anything that helps.

Does anyone have experience resolving a similar situation? Where a button of some sort won't work initially?  Or have any suggestions what I could try?  It seems to function in any other regard, so not physically faulty, I wonder if some other setting means the virtual server settings won't save, but really have no clue what/where.

This is the router:
