Forwarded Ports On New Router For Music

I had to change how I forwarded my ports for my music I’m serving up from my system. The new D-Link gaming router has an area to setup “Virtual Servers” as well as “Gaming” well the “Gaming” area is the only area to specify a span of ports to use like 1-10 (not the ports I’m using of course).

I had placed the port range I normally use in the “Virtual Server” area but what I was actually was doing was placing the span in “public” (WAN) and “private” (LAN, the port the server uses for the application on the LAN).

Good thing I checked and wanted to listen to my music before heading to bed. This is also why I listen to my music by clicking on my web page instead of taking the short cut and listening from my local LAN. Listening by clicking on my site insures that my music stream is playing properly.

Basically I had to list the server twice for the two ports I’m using, one for HiFi broadband connections and one listing for LoFi dial-up connections.
