It sounds like your security system has a fixed IP address of 192.168.1.102. I'm not sure but I think your router is 192.168.0.1. The third set of digits have to agree for you to be able to route directly. You should be able to change the fixed IP address in your security system to something like 192.168.0.102. If you can't you should be able to set the router to use a different range of IP addresses. Something that starts with 192.168.1.xxx. These are LAN addresses that you are setting. (The leading zero's in your 001 aren't really necessary. They are assumed to be there in your router.) Once you have the third digit the same in your network and your security device, your port forwarding should work. These settings may be in you DHCP settings. There is also probably a subnet mask setting. It's usually 255.255.255.0. You shouldn't have to change that.

I connect to the internet using this Netgear unit. (AT&T 7550) I have a security system with cameras that I watch using the internet. I use to use a Linksys router and had no problem with port forwarding but this 7550 won't work with the same numbers. In the Linksys setup I forwarded 8080 and used 192.168.001.102, used this for the 6036 port also. When I try to use the 192 number above and try to enable, it says this ip should be in the subnet. I don't understand that and can't find any subnet either. Here a couple of pictures that might help someone with way more knowledge than I. ========================= The list's FAQ's can be seen by sending an email to PCWorks-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with FAQ in the subject line.
