The lan setup of your D-Link router is different from "Connection Setup" to the WAN. The Connection Setup to the WAN should be DHCP And you should enable NAT in the D-Link so that LAN ip-addresses are NAT'ed to the routable IP address of DHCP-Obtained IP address of the D-Link Router from the DSL Modem. That said, some DSL modems might not accept packets from the router that are already NAT'ed to the Router's public IP address. I have seen this in an AT&T Uverse Modem/Router - fortunately, I found a way around it. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
