Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN

Just when I thought I was getting good at this stuff....I'm currently not connectable with my new Linksys WR54TG2 router. OS is Windows XP. Here's what I have so far:

* My laptop's IP address is 192.168.0.101 so I set that as my static IP address.

* Default Gateway is 192.168.0.1

* DNS Server is 192.168.1.1

I already did the portforwarding in my router configuration page as follows:

Application = Utor1
Start port = 49979
End port = 49979
Protocol = both
IP Address = 192.168.0.101 (which is the same as my static IP I set up)
Enable is checked

....yet uTorrent & canyouseeme.org say I'm not connectable. I get a timeout error at canyouseeme.org....

Any suggestions? I think there must be something very simple here I'm missing.

Thanks...

nope, not a typo....when I do ipconfig /all it says my DNS is 192.168.1.1

Yes, I'm using a Westell 2200 modem and a WRT54G2 Linksys router. It's the same hardware config I had for almost a year until I had some issues about 2 weeks ago or whenever it was....never had an issue prior to that with this same config and was always connectable.

Do I need to do something like port forward the modem THEN port forward the router?

OR am I supposed to set the Westell 2200 to bridge mode and then the portforwarding I set up on the WRT54g2 as is?

The problem there is, while I can access the router config page at 192.168.0.1 -- I am not able to access the modem config page (192.168.1.1) because I keep getting a "401 Not Authorized" error.

my problems have problems, ha

Fair enough...but the WRTG54 isn't a modem+router - it's just a router....so I still need to have a DSL modem to accept the phone line from the wall. Like I said, I had this exactly same hardware in place for a year without any problem. Hence my frustration as to why this isn't working now.

Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN

Also, I realize that the Westell is technically a "router" as well - but it doesn't have any wireless capability, hence the reason why I have the Linksys in the mix.

My understanding of the situation is that if I set the Westell to bridge mode and the Linksys to PPOE, it should work...but the last time I tried that, all my IP addresses got screwed up (10.10.10..., etc.). I don't want that happening again...

Re: Got a new router...having trouble getting connectable AGAIN

putting your westell dsl modem/router in bridge mode simply turns off the router functionality
Bridge mode = just a DSL modem that will pass the external IP (real IP) to your linksys.

westell in bridge mode >

linksys set to DHCP (or PPPOE - ??i thought Verizon stopped using this??) external | DHCP or static IP config for your internal network.

a double router config is/was never a good idea.
