Port Forwarding Issue (MN-500)

Hi All,

I am having an issue with port forwarding with my MN-500
router. Hoping someone out there may have a suggestion.

Okay, here is what I have set up:
I have a Linksys router connected to the DSL line into the
house. There are 2 computers hooked up to the Linksys
router, and a third line going to the MN-500 router.
There are 2 computers connected to the MN-500(one of which
is a webserver), and a third wireless connection. The
problem I am having is I am unable to access the websites
on the webserver anymore.

The setup I had prior to adding the MN-500, was the
webserver connected to the Linksys router. I had port
forwarding (ports 98 and 99) forwarding to the webserver.
This setup worked well.

Now I have ports 98 and 99 of the linksys router
forwarding to the IP address of the MN-500, and the MN-500
port forwarding 98 and 99 to the webserver.

Linksys ports 98-99 forward to 192.186.2.41 (MN-500 IP)

Setup on the Base Station Management tool for persistent
port forwarding:

Inbound port 98-99
Type: TCP/IP
Private IP - 192.168.2.32 (webserver IP)
private port - 98-99


Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much in advance.

Stop using two routers. You should under no circumstances ever use two
routers. You need to do one of the two following procedures.

1) Only use the MN-500 (no more linksys router).

2) Put the MN-500 into bridge mode after changing it's LAN IP address to
the same range as the linksys LAN IP address & continue to use the
linksys as your main router.
