Hey. I have been trying to set up my ftp server under windows IIS for qquite a while. I set up the virstual server in the d-link router. After a while i tried to reboot my router, and that worked! but now, like every couple of hours, if i dont rebbot my router, my server goes bad!. I am using a DMZ set to the same computer as the server is on, if that helps. I have to, for direct connect. Thanx guys.

Have youi tried forwarding the ports your server uses through the router??? I cannot work out how you have forwarded the conections, try using NAT or port forwarding on the router to forward requests to your web server to the computer that is the server Caveman

Thanx sooo much for the reply. It realy is good to know som1 cares lol. Well.. i set everything up the same way i used to, and it works for the first maybee 10 minutes or so, and then it dosent work until i reboot the router.

Have you talked to your ISP. Maybe they are doing something funny with your connection?? Otherwise I am lost:) Unless you have a problem with your phone excange or line of something ?? Good Luck :) Caveman

I just through of a couple more things:) When you router needs to be rebooted does the internet still work?? Maybe it's a problem with your router or something. Have you tried turning it off, by unplugging it and then plugging it back in?? I don't know if restarting the router is the same thing, as I don't use them :) I use a linux box to route for me. No money for a router:)) Caveman

Yea, my internet works when it needs to reeboot. And restating it is done buy its firmaways, i go to my IP and i can control it using software ON the router, I tired updating this. but i have un plugged it a cople times wihin the last few hours. Thanx Again guys

I run many services with my D-Link gateway (DI-704P). The DMZ setting should not be used, and I have found it to be quit buggy. You need to determine the ports necessary (80 obviously) and set the gateway to forward them to you host. Also, putting IIS in your DMZ is asking for trouble.
