Network Illiterate. Calling Tech On Router. Please help.

[Aggie1]

I'm illiterate when it comes to my router because I can't find instructions for what I want to do in the manual. That or it just is not as user friendly as I'd like.

I have a D-Link DI604. I'm going to call tech support this evening and have them help me forward the ports and set a DMZ host. Can someone provide me some clues as to exactly what I need to ask? I know these guys will read from a script and I want to make sure to lead them to what I need. Exactly what ports need to be forwarded and will he/she immediately know what I need from a DMZ host or are there particulars regarding that also the CSR should be aware of?

I'm getting that stupid 1017 error. I can find nothing else wrong. Everything loads fine. The user is set as a GM with all options. The whole thing works except for the nasty crash after choosing my server.

Thanks in advance. I'm soooo close. Freeport is on the horizon... now if I can just get the boat to dock....

any zone ports and port 9000. You might want to tell them your internal IP because that is what the dmz will be assigned to

Thanks! I'll do that!
