Hi, im quite new to web hosting, and im having a bit of a prob with setting up my server going through my LAN, if i set my router to give the public IP to my computer (no other connections are allowed if i do that) everything works ok, but because i have a laptop aswell i cant do this. ATM i have a Buffalo Wireless ADSL Modem Router WMR-G54DB, i think i need something with port forwarding, this hasnt got this but it has got virtual server thingy which dont work.

Can anybody tell me a good Wireless ADSL Modem Router which has got port forwarding or whatever i need to get my site to work over the LAN, under £100 if pos.

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=12576165886&action=c2hvd3N1YmNhdGVnb3J5X3BhZ2U=&subcat_uid=477

That is a list of lots of different routers at lots of different price ranges. Personally I would go with a "Linksys" wireless router because I am 99% that they have Port Forwarding. Mine is Linksys (not wireless though) and it has port forwarding and a friends ADSL Linksys wireless router (no longer sold on ebuyer by the looks of it) had it also.

I have had no problems with ebuyer and I have bought at least 10 things from them. I ordered a wireless access point myself yesterday from them.

Hope this helps. Contact me by PM if you need more info.

Hi, it was probably my own fault for not mentioning that i am using bulldog broadband, but the linksys router mentioned above will not connect to the ISP, can anbody suggest a similar router that does work with bulldog?

Many thanks in advance

Link above is long dead, but anything from the Cable routers category should do the trick, assuming they've given you a real modem with Cat5 connection to the PC and not a crappy USB one...
