Help with new Linksys 4-port Router. Cannot recieve calls in Netmeeting

Everthing is setup. I can access the internet just fine.
Only thing is i cannot recieve calls on Netmeeting, nor can I see my web page that I am hosting with IIS.
My OS is XP pro.
 
The router is setup as a DHCP server/client
it's get an ip from the ISP then assigns the PC with an IP from it's own ip pool.
When I type in the address of my web page the login for setup for the routher pops up.
 
You need to forward the ports through the router for the web site host and netmeeting. I have no idea what the correct port numbers are, but if you can find them I have included proper steps below to configure it.

You want to log in to the router. Generally this is done by opening this http://192.168.1.1. Leave the user name area blank, but use the password "admin". Now you need to find the IP of the computer trying to receive netmeeting calls or the computer running IIS. This can be done by clicking on the tab labeled DHCP. Then click the button that says DHCP Clients Table.

Now that you have the Lan IP of the computer(s) in question you need to click on the advanced tab. It should be gold in color. Then click on Forwarding. Now all you need to do is insert the port range you want to forward and the correct IP of the computer(s) in question.
 
By the way, netmeeting is a pain to setup through router, unless you use DMZ. The only way I was able to get it to work was to essentially do the equivalent by forwarding ports 1024-65535 to the netmeeting computer. I wrote a little script to turn it on when I wanted a call and turn it back off when I'm done.

Fowarding. That was it.
Thanks


Did you ever figure out which ports you needed to forward to use netmeeting? I would like to know for future reference.🙂
