DLink DI 524 - Port forwarding
 

how do i enable port forwarding for ports 7272 and 21212

is it firewall, filter, virtual server or application

i tried to access it but the server only allows one connection per IP and it says something about No More COnnections for this IP address...

I have looked on the DLink support pages and depending if its internet gaming or remote desktop it shows it doing it different ways. One makes amends to firewall, one makes amends to virtual server

*Confused*

You can probably do either.

This page shows you how to add a virtual server on a specific port, which is probably the easiest way to do it. (The page references bittorrent, but same principle applies to any service that requires an open port)

the ftp server only allows one IP address connection.

does it in someway 'create' another ip address.

is there a way around this?

Re: DLink DI 524 - Port forwarding
 

The idea is that you create a virtual server for each port, eg

'Virtual 7272 server' redirects port 7272 to internal IP 192.168.100.2
So each 'virtual server' definition redirects one incoming port to an internal IP.

right, so the ftp server may be thinking its 2 of the same IP addresses

I will try it out later when i get home

Not sure what FTP has to do with it - neither of the ports you mention are default FTP ports?
Make sure you specify the same 'private port' as 'public port' for each virtual server, and each virtual server should have a unique name and public port.

the 'FTP' server i download from uses different ports i.e. 7272
