Remote Management

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a few pointers for helping me setup Remote
Management on the Netgear DSG834G.

I have turned this feature on. I have tried using both the default port
8080 and a custom port 12345 and I cannot access the router from an external
PC. I have used the address XXX.X.XXX.X:12345 where X is my IP address.

I have tried setting up a port forwarding for this port (to the router IP
address) incase the firewall was blocking things. This didn't help.

I have looked at the user guide and cannot find any explanation of having to
setup port forwarding so I am not even sure if this is needed.

Could you please tell me what it is I am doing wrong?

P.S. I am not using any over firewall software (or windows xp's built in
one)

Couldn't find a DSG834G, just a DG834G - is that what you meant?

Did you set up the correct range of IP addresses that are allowed to
connect to remote management? Did you set a secure password?

You definitely shouldn't need port forwarding to enable access to remote
management, although you might want to try forwarding to 192.168.0.1:80
(assuming that's the IP address and port number of the router's web
interface) to see if you can access the local management interface
remotely - I don't know if that will work but I don't see why it
wouldn't.

Hi, yes I mean the DG834G.

I have tried forwarding port 80 to the router and that hasn't worked.

At the moment I have not setup any range of IP addresses allowed. I have
left them all open.

I am at a complete loss as to what the problem is.
