Setup is a Belkin basic wireless router connected to my cable modem and then out of that comes a WRT54G2 running the latest DD-WRT acting as a wired switch.
The WRT54G2 was set up as per the Wiki for a switch and the internet connection through it is all fine. Problem is, I can't access the web GUI for it from outside the network. I've got it set for port 80 which I've forwarded to the LAN IP for it but still no go. Can't even ping it remotely.
Anyone have any suggestions at all where I might have gone wrong?...........anything at all??? lol
As I say, the internet connections coming out of the switch are fine, it's just the connection from the outside world that's the problem.
You need to make sure that the Belkin is port forwarding to the wrt54g2 and that the wrt54g2's gateway is configured to be the Belkin's LAN IP so that it has a default route out to the internet. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.

First check that routing for the wrt54g2 is indeed working correctly by connecting to it via telnet/ssh and then trying to ping google from the router. If that works then try to connect to the Belkin's [WAN IP]:[port being forwarded] which may or may not work depending on if it has loopback enabled. If that works then your ISP is blocking it. _________________ Read the forum announcements thoroughly! Be cautious if you're inexperienced.
