[QUOTE="an0nz, post: 836929, member: 113262"] As thekiwi said you have 2 separate networks (192.168.0.X and 192.168.1.X) and these networks cant talk directly to each other without the router. You can either change your network as in the above post and then port forward from your modem direct to your new HTPC IP address (it would remove a layer of security from your network though) OR Since your router is designed to be used in this type of situation my suggestion would be the following. I assume you have the modem plugged into the Internet port on the router. 1 - First you need to find out what IP address the router has for the Internet port, it will be in the 192.168.1.X range. I suggest you make this a static IP in the routers settings, something like 192.168.1.2, with a gateway of 192.168.1.1 and DNS 192.168.1.1 OR your ISP's DNS servers. 2 - On the modem, forward the appropriate ports to the routers Internet IP address, which if you made it static as above will be 192.168.1.2 3 - On the router, forward the ports to the HTPC IP address (192.168.0.50) and that should be it, the key is forwarding to the Internet IP address of the router first as it connects your networks together (internet to private) and has its own inbuilt firewall.
