The problem : can't connect to my VNC or Teamspeak server anymore.

The setup : A linksys modem/router connected to a D-Link wireless router.

The Linksys modem/router : 192.168.0.1
The D-Link wireless router : 192.168.0.60 (fixed) <--- EDITED THE IP HERE!!!

Internet ---> Linksys ---[DMZ]---> D-Link ---> Computer (192.168.1.102 - fixed)

8767 ports opened on D-Link to point on 192.168.1.102 computer.
Windows Firewall ports opened on 192.168.1.102 computer.
Teamspeak server setuped on port 8767 on 192.168.1.102 computer.

As example, I try to connect to my Teamspeak server. I enter my IP directly in the program (using http://whatismyip.com so I'm sure it's the good one). It times out.

Any advices?
 
If you are daisy-chaining those routers simply to allow you to use the DLink router for wireless clients, then don't. Put a piece of tape over the DLink's WAN port, turn off its DHCP Server, and just use its four switch ports and WiFi for any connections. Let your Linksys router be the Default Gateway and DHCP Server.
 
Sorry, made a mistake...

The Linksys modem/router : 192.168.0.1
The D-Link wireless router : 192.168.0.60 (fixed)

This is the good config. Still, I will take a look at guide! Thanks.
 
If I read this guide correctly, I would have to plug something like this :

Internet ---> Linksys (192.168.0.1) --[from normal port to WAN port]--> D-Link (192.168.0.60) --[Wireless]--> Computer.

I should configure my D-Link router (DI-624) to act as a passive switch by doing something in the configs and then my computers will have their IPs given by the Linksys...?

That's ok?

You absolutely need to disable the DHCP server on your D-Link. Without doing so you will suffer much more headaches in the future.

And yes, it's totally safe.

I prefer bubblegum to tape for the WAN port, although tape does have the advantage if you ever need to use that as a SOHO router again 😉

I'm serious about the tape (or bubblegum). The other day, I was at a client's office, and accidentally plugged my laptop into the (unused) WAN port of his Linksys WiFi router. It took me a couple of wasted minutes to realize my mistake (I couldn't access the router's Web Site).

I think you'll need more than tape to help you... 😉

I have the same setup. I wish I knew this a few nights ago. I would not be as sleep deprived now. 🙂

So, will the "Computer" at the end of the "chain" get its IP from the DHCP server on Linksys? Or does it need to be assigned a static IP address? And would I need a crossover or a regular cable to connect the routers? I believe the D-Link can work with either.

 
The computers do get their IP from the Linksys. You don't have to specify a static IP, but I prefer this because I have some servers running on my machines.
