Hi all,

I have a Belkin 4-port Cable/DSL Gateway router.
I would like to forward some ports on it (for skype - it gets cut off
every 2 minutes - it's unbearable
I use DHCP, if I type the address of the router, I get
a basic screen with the router settings however,
the only thing that is related to firewalls is:

The only option here is: enabled/disabled

What am I supposed to do?
I've got Debian Etch and Fedora Core 6
PS. Obviously the cd that it was shipped with contains Windows software
Thank you

well have you tried forwarding the ports on the router... this is ostentisubly nothign to do with Linux if that's all you need to do. check out portforward.com

thanks,
the problem is that I chose my router, and then I chose the program (i.e skype) but
this website directs me to the default router address: 192.168.2.1, which I already know, but when I type this address, I don't get the same screen. I don't get options like:
DMZ, Wan ping blocking, etc. I only have a basic screen with a few options.
My guess is that that's how the screen would look like (with full list of options) after installing the software for the router (windows). I don't know - that's just my guess.
If I had all those options that are shown in that portforward.com tutorial, I would
know what to do

Don't know what to do now


That's what I get when I enter the router's address:

thank you for your time and help

ok, I connected a laptop which has WinXP on it, and the screen was ok with all
the options. So it was a question of Iceweasel not showing the router page correctly
thanks

I do apologise for the phenomenon visible above - I have no idea how it happened
