Hi, i have a dlink DI-624s router and i want to turn off my firewall on it. I have spent hours googling a solution but i couldn't find one. If any knew of a program to port forward that would be great as well. Ty in advance

Hi djuke1, welcome to CompuForums. We help you for free, so we'd appreciate it if you could help us by posting in a few threads posted by other users.
Do you have any documentation that came with the router at all?

No i dont sorry

Try and see if you can access this url:
http://192.168.0.1
If asked for a username and password, enter admin as the username and leave the password box blank, and login. You should hopefully be able to log in - please let us know if you can.

yes i have done that before

That would be where you would be able to turn off the router's firewall, if at all. The alternative would be to telnet or ssh into your router, and running a simple script to flush your IP tables [unless the router doesn't run on Linux]

yes i have seen the firewall option there but not sure how to turn it off. and by linux do u mean my os

Most routers run Linux as their operating system.
Maybe you could post a screenshot of the firewall page so that we can tell you what to click to disable it. Be sure that you are running decent up-to-date security software on all of your computers if you turn off your firewall, however.

not sure what my router runs on my my os is vista. sceen shot is attached. and my net security is trend micro pc-cillin is that a good program?

I use the almost exact router. Mine is an Airplus Xtreme D-link 624. The way you do this is to go through 192.168.0.1 and click on the the advanced tab and click on firewall.Now fill in the blanks according to what you want to open.

thanks but the thing is i want to open about 40 programs lol. so i was looking for a program to do that or find out how to turn off the firewall

You can try doing a DMZ. Go to advanced and click DMZ and enable your computers IP and that should set it up. DMZ give that computer unrestricted access to the internet, but I'm not sure if it bypasses the firewalls though...

k ill give that a go

It didnt work

sounds like you just need to do the long way...open each port individually. Are you working wireless on the computer that needs the ports open?

yes all the computers are wireless in my house
