This is when i need my lad to be home but hes out
If you type in the web browser your routers ip address it will bring up your routers homepage.
This is where i fall down,think you will need to go in firewall settings and tick accordingly on the virtual servers and possibly edit any details but can confirm yet mate.

In router settings make sure wirleless radio has been enabled ? plus look in ip filtering to see if the dm is there ?
