How to open ports (DLink DSL 502T Firmware v2.xx)
Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the router (10.1.1.1). Enter user name (admin) and your password (admin).
Step 2 Add LAN Client (Workstation) into the router before you can open any ports. Go to Advanced > LAN Clients. Type in the IP address of the Workstation (e.g. 10.1.1.2). You can specify the name of this workstation under Host Name (optional). Click Add and then Apply.
Step 3 Go to Advanced > Virtual Server (Port Forwarding). There is a list of pre-set ports in the router which you can choose from.
Step 3a If your specific application is not listed there, you can add the necessary ports yourself (Select the 'User' Category and click on Add button below).
Step 3b Enter the name for this entry under Rule Name. Then select the necessary protocol. If there is a range of ports to open, specify the starting port under Port Start and the ending port under Port End. If you need to open just one port, specify this port number in all fields including the Port Map. Click Apply.
Step 4. Go to Advanced > Virtual Server and under LAN IP select your LAN Client (which we added in Step 2). This is the computer where the required traffic will be redirected to. Select the Category and the desired Rule or select "User" Category and you should see the rule which you have created in Step 3b. Select it and then click on Add > to move it to Applied Rules section. Click Apply .
Step 5 (Optional) If you are opening ports for FTP, Telnet or other service, please make sure this service is not additionally blocked by the router's firewall. You can verify this under Advanced > Firewall > Service Filtering.
Step 6 To save the new settings into the router's memory go to Tools > (System) > Save & Reboot. Click on Save & Reboot button. The router will save the settings and restart.
Because our routers use NAT (Network Address Translation), you can only open a specific port to one computer at a time. For example: If you have 2 web servers on your network, you cannot open port 80 to both computers. You will need to configure 1 of the web servers to use port 81. Now you can open port 80 to the first computer and then open port 81 to the other computer.
Note that the computer/device you are opening ports for should have static IP:
Under Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties > Internet protocol TCP/IP > Properties:
IP address: 10.1.1.5 (each computer will require a different IP)
Subnet mask: 255.0.0.0
Gateway: 10.1.1.1
DNS: 202.129.64.198 (or whichever your provider is using)
Please note that from inside your LAN you will not be able to access your server using its public IP address or name. On your LAN you will need to use its local IP address instead (10.1.1.2).
Be aware that many Internet Providers are blocking commonly used ports like 80 and 21, hence you will not be able to host a WEB site or FTP site even if you will open the necessary ports in the router.
Step 1 Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the router (10.1.1.1). Enter user name (admin) and your password (admin).
Step 2 Add LAN Client (Workstation) into the router before you can open any ports. Go to Advanced > LAN Clients. Type in the IP address of the Workstation (e.g. 10.1.1.2). You can specify the name of this workstation under Host Name (optional). Click Add and then Apply.
