Hello all, I'm behind a D-Link DIR-300 router and I'm trying to open ports 80 and 443 to set up an Apache server, but port forwarding seems not to be working at all. Here is what I've done. First I've set my local IP to be static as 192.168.0.100:



This configuration seems to be working, since I'm properly being assigned this IP address whenever my MAC address connects:



Then I configured ports 80 and 443 to be redirected to this static local IP:



And I even enabled DMZ to this local IP:



Despite all this, DIR-300 seems to be ignoring this configuration, since port 80 and 443 are closed:





Firmware is up to date (version 1.05). Could someone please help?

• What region are you located?

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations

• What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
• What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
• What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?

Router and Wired Configurations
Some things to try: - Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1. Use IE, Opera or FF to manage the router.

• Turn off ALL QoS or Disable Traffic Shaping
• Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual or under Setup/PARENTAL CONTROL/Set to>None: Static IP or Obtain Automatically From ISP.
• Enable Use Unicasting (compatibility for some ISP DHCP Servers) under Setup/Internet/Manual.
• Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking. Link>Finding Faster DNS Addresses using Name Bench
• Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. Setup/Networking. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
• Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
• If IPv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only or Disable IPv6 options under Setup/IPv6.
• Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP under Advanced/Firewall. Enable or Disable SPI to test.
• Enable uPnP and Multi-cast Streaming under Advanced/Networking. Disable uPnP for testing Port Forwarding rules. Enable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming for routers that have a Media Server option. Disable IPv6 Multi-cast Streaming if IPv6 or Media Server is not being used.
• Turn off WISH, and WPS under Advanced.
• Set current Time Zone, Date and Time. Use an NTP Server feature. Tools/Time.

Hi FurryNutz, thanks for your attention. I got this working now! I'm from Brazil, my ISP is Net Virtua, my modem is a Motorola SBV5121 and I have a cable connection. I plugged my PC directly to the modem and, for my surprise, it didn't work either, so the problem was not related to the router. I contacted my ISP and they told me that ports 80 and 445 are blocked by default and if I want them opened, I have to pay $250/month for a 1 mb bandwidth connection. Since this proposal is absolutely ridiculous, I just configured Apache to listen to port 8080 and now everything is working just fine. I just changed port 80 to port 8080 in DIR-300 configurations, changed it in httpd.conf in Apache too and now everything is working properly.

Thanks again!

Glad you got it working.

Enjoy.
