mn-100 port forwarding

How can I set up my router so that I can access the admin
console from an outside WAN connection? More specifically
what port do I put in Persistent Port Forwarding? Any
port number or is there a specific port that I should use
when attempting to access my router with http://

I attempted to use several random and several logical
ports such at 80 and 8080 but every time I attempt to
access my router from the outside with
http://<routers_address>:<defined_port #> I recieve "the
page cannot be displayed".
Where am I going wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

The Base Station Management Tool is only assessible within your lan. There
are no ports you can forward so that you can remotely administer it.

If there is a computer within your network that can handle a remote login
(via REmote Desktop or a tool that is similar), you can connect to the
computer and then access the BSMT from within the remote connection (as
you'd be inside your network at this point).

Jason thanks for the reply. I have a strange feeling you
are incorrect. you can also access the management tools
by going to ANY system connected to your LAN and entering
http://192.168.2.1 (default internal router IP) into a
browser.
Other brand routers are accessable from WAN by using the
external IP of the router + Port number. I would be
supprised if MS didn't build this functionality into
their routers.

If I find out how I will let you know. I want to get
this up and running as I would also like to set up my
router to forward port 3389 so I can access a remote
desktop.

Once again Jason is correct. I've tried what you are discussing and the
router won't allow it to happen.

The only way to access the Microsoft Basestations from the WAN side is
to use persistent port forwarding for something like remote desktop.

Then once you have the remote desktop connection you can configure the
router.

I used to support these routers for over 6 months & that is the only
solution.

AFAIK that is also true at least for the MN500 in bridge
mode (didn't try in router mode or with the MN100). You
can get to it from the Modem Port using a statically
assigned WAN IP (actually, this is the only way to
configure it in bridge mode without resetting it).

Go to the router, set it's IP to a static IP, turn off
firewall, set it into bridge mode. Now, switch the
computer to connect through the Modem Port, enter the IP
on IE (port 80) and there you go. You can try for router
mode and let us know.

What you are saying is what I said.

You can't access the BAse STation Management Tool from another computer
external to your lan (i.e. the Internet).
The access must be done from within your LAN. That's what I stated in my
original reply (and provided an example of one way you could do this)
