netgear rt314 help!

[WhiteWonder]

I recently got a cable connection, and am sharing it with another computer through a cable/DSL router(netgear). my problem is, I can't get on to any FTPs, or irc. Also, in counter strike, i'll get huge lag spikes. I'm thinking its because of the firewall in the router. Could this be the problem? or is it something else?

make sure the router isn't blocking the irc ports (6667) and ftp ports

Make sure passive mode is enabled on your ftp client.

I am not exatly sure how it works with your RT314, if I am not mistaken, you have a web interface with that and it should allow you to forward your ports to the machine that you want FTP, irc, and CS to go to. I do it via telnet and manually do it on my Cisco675 NAT.

set nat entry add 10.0.0.200 21
set nat entry add 10.0.0.200 6667
write
reboot

change the ip address above to your internal ip scheme.

If you don't have a passive mode on your FTP client you need to forward port 21 to the machine you are using. Depending on the firmware you have you may be able to do this via your web browser. If you don't have firmware that supports this you will have to telnet in to the router and use menu 15 SUA/NAT. Hope this helps.
