A. Are you using your own router or the modem/router that is supplied by
verizon?
B. If it is the modem/router supplied by Verizon is Westell or Actiontec
C. If westell is it the 6100 / Versalink ( 6100 single port router /
Versalink has 4 ports and wireless)
D. If A is true but B and C are false as in you have fios and are using a
verizon supplied router then why are you having problems ( as the dlink
router provided is pretty simple to use )
E. if B or C are true have you tried the verizononline forum at dsl reports.
it should be pretty easy portfoward outside port 81 to private ip at port
80
