Well you at some point set your gateway to your ip which is incorrect. It should be set to the typical network internal ip of 192.168.x.x

Sorry to interrupt this post, but as a courtesy to those reading through the posts...

Please ATTACH full-sized screenshots instead of inserting them. It makes the post MUCH easier to read when you don't have giant images forcing horizontal scroll bars.


Also, for the router settings, don't mess with DMZ... just add TCP 3389 to the Applications & Gaming list and point the IP to your computer's internal 192... address.

Don't bother filling in the mask just make sure your computer's tcp/ip reflects whatever its default is(255.255.255.x).

it says the default gateway value is illegal when i click save... unless you meant to set my default gateway in my tcp/ip to that of my routers (wich i didnt do)

Let me vpn into my parents router they have a similar model.

trying to set my router default gateway somehow locked me out of the internet. im not sure how to change the default gateway on the router.

btw... i really appreciate all the help.

I would reset your router by holding in the reset button on the back for 30mins so your at default. Default login is typically username= left blank and password= admin.

Under setup > basic setup
drop down should be automatic dhcp
ip 192.168.1.1 (this is your router gateway ip)
subnet 255.255.255.0

under application & gaming > single port fwd
external port 3389
internal port 3389
both
to ip 192.168.1.5
check enabled

make sure your saving.

on your computer tcp/ip
ip 192.168.1.5
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
leave your dns
