    hi, I wish to share my files, but am having problems. I tried wwwfileshare, but it doesn't work- people can't see my files. Now someone mentioned because I have a router (DL 614 wireless Lan), but I am a complete novice and I didn't understand about DMZ and all. Is there an easier way to be able to share my files. Maybe FTP or so? Remember I'm absolutely new to this. But I would appreciate any help on this matter. Thank you very much.

    can't share files

    Thanks for your reply- but like I said- I am a newbie to all of this. How do I get to the router setup, please? Thank you

    a router is a bit vague. usually you can get into the setup by typing its IP into a browser, like I.E. somthing like
    http://192.168.0.1/
    thats a common one for class c networks. If you look in your router manual you should find somthing about setup. You want to look for Port Forwarding.

    It might help if you tell us what make/model of router. if its a netgear router i may be able to help :)

    I'm afraid I have no manual- someone else installed it.But it is a DL614+ wireless lan, if that helps any. My comp is win 2000 prof. Will this help any further?

    Right i think its a D-Link router.....

    Its DI not DL :) that foxed me for a bit..!

    Yeah, okay i got the manual.... says you can set it up using a browser as i said...
    Whilst your there you might want to upgrade your firmware.... which it explains in the FAQ.

    You wont have set an admin password and if you have you will have been told about it. just click this :
    http://192.168.0.1/
    and type the username as "admin" noquotes and no password.

    Once you are in hit the LAN button on the left.

    i dont know where to go from there, sorry!
