What router are you using and which port do you want to forward?

Ask your question, don't just ask for help. Nobody can help you if they don't know exactly what you need.

I'm taking my Dell to the firing range and shooting it to pieces. Then I'm ordering an HP.

Glad I could help.

I would wait to go to the firing range untill you get the HP so you can shoot it too. :laugh2:

The only thing that would be worse is if he bought a Gateway :laugh2:

How long have you had it? I'd say less than 2 years, am I right?

As far as the OP is concerned, I'd bet he's looking to forward the XBOX Live ports. 3074 and 88 IIRC.

It's pretty simple...

Go into your router. Type in your computer's network ip (internal ip) and then what port you're trying to send. If you're in windows you can do a ipconfig on the command line.

Example router config:

Port Forwarding

IP: 192.168.1.______ Port: _____

In the first box you'd put your interal ip, so if you're 192.168.1.15...you'd put 15 in the first box. Then the port you want to go to your comp in the second.

According to the National Enquirer, Jessica hired a "witch" in LA to put a "curse" on Tony for the way he dumped her. (I'm serious)

Not to worry though, Jessica's father immediately called Glinda, the good witch from the North to counter the evil spell. But...

Tony must wear his Ruby cleats against the Bucs, it's the only protection he'll have. Oh, what a world...what a world...

1. go to start run
1a. type 'cmd'

(if windows vista/windows 7 just type cmd in 'Search program and files' bar)

2. type ipconfig

3. get your default gateway mine is

http://i330.***BLOCKED***/albums/l406/RealityTVLounge/Clipboard02-1.jpg

192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.6 is also relevant for a future step so save that IP too)

4. Type the default gateway into any web browser address bar. Example load up firefox/IE and type in http://192.168.1.1

Different routers will have a different base address for router administration. You must use the default gateway.

5. You should be prompted with a username and password screen. Find your make and model of your router in this list: http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html The username and passwords are also on that list. Type the username/password to enter your router settings.

If you are not prompted with a username/password. You need to google the operation manual for your router as I do not know how to help you anymore.

6. Navigate to 'applications and gaming'/'port forwarding' (verbage changes by make/model of your router) in your router firmware.

7. Type the ports you want to forward to whichever local IP you want to grant access to those ports. For example, in the above image, i have 10 computers on the network. My unique network ip is 192.168.1.6. I want to open port 5600 for VNC (an application), therefore I forward port 5600 to ip 192.168.1.6. Whenever someone attempts to connect to my GLOBAL ip address (http://www.whatismyip.com) and seeks to connect to port 5600 they will be taken to 192.168.1.6:5600.

Hope that helps.
