You're using different ports for each router, right?
Try setting the "inner router"'s remote port to something like 666. So to access the inner router remotely, you would type in 26.117.205.12:666 (assume your IP address to the Internet is 26.117.205.12).
For clarification, you'd go to the web address 26.117.205.12 (or whatever your ISP-set IP address is to the Internet), and then a colon : and then the port number you've set for remote management of the inner and outer routers. By default it's 8080, but both routers can't be 8080.
So it should be:
Internet -- Modem -- Outer Router (Port 8080) -- Inner Router (Port 666)
And I believe it's TCP 8080, TCP 666, not UDP. "Both" will work, as well (when you're forwarding 666 from the outer router to the inner router). Also, be sure to avoid using "important" ports when deciding which port to use for the inner router (something tells me you won't be going with 666 ). Generally, any three-digit number is ideal, just don't use, say, 53 or 21 or 22, etc.
Actually, assuming you don't host a website on this network, you could set the outer router's remote management port to be 80, and the inner can be 8080. That way, you just have to type in the IP address to reach the outer router.
You could also configure the outer router as a PPTP VPN server, VPN into it with your phone/computer/tablet, and access both the inner and outer routers with their local IPs, say 192.168.1.1, etc.
Options abound! |
