D-link DIR 300 open ports? how?

Question

my new dlink dir 300 router is working great after my ISP changed my internet connection by a bit(i had to connect manually, now i dont, it does so automatically)

but some ports which i need arent opened(GTA IV for ps3), how do i open ports if i havent done the installation part because i dont have to?(and i couldnt anyway because it already worked and after the automatic connection i couldnt do the installation anyway - it wont let me)

now at 192.168.0.1 i get "login to your router:" with "user name" and "password" but i havent done a password?

Answer 1

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.0.1.

You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default the username is admin, and the password is blank. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.

Click the Advanced link near the top of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Echolink requires you to forward the 5198-5200 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Forwarding menu.

When you're finished, click Save Settings near the top of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!

Answer 2

Download the manual from the dlink web site. It will tell you the default user name and password. If these have been changed you will need to ask the ISP what they set them to.
