i will repost my guide for opening nat and firewall on a zyxel ... it will help for sure ...
you can't just say nat is now OPEN :) let's say you have a pc with IP of 192.168.1.33 you are running a emule (hehe) on that PC you want to use port 12345 for your emule this is what you need to do: 1. go to webinterface of your router (usually http://192.168.1.1) 2. go to menu network/nat/port forwarding 3.go to service->user define 4. in new window click "active", name it emule, start port 12345, end port 12345, server ip 192.168.1.33 5. click ok, apply, whatever and go to menu security/firewall/rules 6. choose packet direction wan to wan/router 7. click on ADD 8.change following fields: destination address - change to single addressand change 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.1.33 and click on add, then close to itsays ANY, mark it and click on remove 9. on same page under services click on edit customized services 10. choose number 1 or 5 or whatever :) 11. service name: emule rule, service type TCP/UDP, type single, port 12345 12. click on apply 13. go to menu maintenance/tools/restart 14.just in case restart the box and your zyxel is now accepting incomingconnections on port 12345 and forwarding them to 192.168.1.33 (your pc)...
well to start, your connection would possibly be ADSL and your zyxel is set to provide DHCP address on your network, so its router capabilities could be turned on.
if this is true, you may need to rework the connection settings.
here's a recommendation:
1.set your modem to bridge mode (bridge only)
2.this will then be allowing your linksys to manage your DSL connection through PPPoE
3.after so, your linksys router should get a public IP address for an internet IP when you go to status tab (not an IP address starting with 192.168.1.xx)
after so, you may reconfigure your port-forwarding.
the reason why you will need to set your modem to "bridged" only is that if it is not, your zyxel's firewall is also turned on, provided that the linksys' firewall is always on. so even if you define which port will be opened on the router, it will still be blocked by the modem's firewall.
