Help Me Configure This Netgear Router

[MoMeanMugs]

This thing is driving me NUTS! It's a Zyxel Prestige 624R-11, which I think is the same thing as the Netgear RT314. I have been trying for the last week to get my Half-Life server up and running behind this thing. The server can connect fine to the internet so I know it's at least working in that aspect. I tried putting port 27005, 27010, and 27015 in menu 15 and putting the server's LAN IP there, but that didn't work. I thought that's all you had to do??? After that didn't work, I tried making a filter set that sent would send those ports to my server's IP. That didn't work either. I then tried to use them both together, but that was a dead fish in the water as well. I got so frustrated that I wanted to turn the thing into a bridge and connect it to the WAN port on my Linksys router I had sitting in my closet. I turned off IP and IPX routing, SUA (Zyxel's menu 15), and turned bridge on. In menu 24, it said the thing was in bridge mode. I plugged it into the WAN port only to come to another dead end. I turned off DHCP server on the Prestige and assigned an IP to the WAN port on my Linksys router. Guess what? I'm sure you know by now. I telneted back into the Prestige to try and find out what WAN IP it had. It said it was what I had assigned for the LAN IP for the Prestige. So at this point, I'm like WTF? This damn thig is starting to make my hair fall out. Can someone either tell me how to get my server running through this thing as a router or how to castrate it and use it as a bridge to plug into my Linksys router? Please use examples such as specific IP's cuz I don't think my brain can handle any simplistics at this moment because of the stress headache I have.

I think you have to enable DMZ hosting.

I had also tried that.

Okay, this is what I am trying that is not working. Under Menu 21 (Filter Set), For Filter Set #1 (my only filter set) I put these entries

Filter #: 1,1
Filter Type= TCP/IP Filter Rule

Esentially, I have opened ports 27005 through 27015 and have them forwarded to 192.168.0.2, correct? Anyone see any problems here? When I try and apply Filter Set #1 to Remote Node Profile #1 (ADSL connection), I cannot get on the internet. Why is this happening?

This is what it is set like that kills my connection. When I remove 1 from the protocol filters, everything if fine except my server can't host the game. Here is my other setup info so that everything is at hand:

If anyone has any insight, give me some clues. I am just about belly up on this.

Menu 15 - SUA Server Setup

2. 0 0.0.0.0
3. 0 0.0.0.0

There's your problem. You have to define which IP/ports your router has to forward to under the SUA server settings.
ie:

Port # IP Address
------ ---------------
1.(hl ports) (Internal IP hosting the halflife server)
2. 0 0.0.0.0
3. 0 0.0.0.0
4. 0 0.0.0.0
5. 0 0.0.0.0
6. 0 0.0.0.0
7. 0 0.0.0.0
8. 0 0.0.0.0

You can also alllow for range of ports (ie: 27000-27500).

 

[MoMeanMugs]

Yeah, I tried that but it still didn't work.
