Port Fowarding

[Vladamir]

Can anyone tell me how i go about doing this please?

I've tried portfoward.com but don't fancy paying out to use their software.

Cheers

Dont be such a gay, you dont have to pay!

PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall

Or tell me the game you wanna forward ports for, and your router and I'll link you the page

 

[Vladamir]

Want to forward ports for uTorrent.

Router is Netgear WGR 614 V7

Ta

log in on the router

chose "port forwardring"

then add a new one with your comps IP and which ports you wanna forward

 

[Vladamir]

The only service names that come up are

Age-of-Empire
FTP
HTTP
ICUII
IP_Phone
NetMeeting
News
PPTP
Quake II/III
Real-Audio
Telnet

The only one i can think of it remotely being is PPTP, but i don't know if that stands for p2p or not, so i'm not sure.

The other alternative is 'Add custom service', where i need a Service name, start/end port and server IP address <- router address or my IP?

 

[Heta]

thats why you click the button called

Custom Service, and create one of your own

service name=what ever you wanna call it
port=the ports you want to use
ip=the comptur you are forwarding too

 

[Vladamir]

I didn't know if service name had to be technical or not

But thanks

 

[Heta]

na, its so you know what they hell is going on if you have alot of different forwardings, which can happen specially if you have a couple of comps connected to the same router

Click that buddy
I would at least click the link cause if you have more than 1 pc on your network, or any other little things you may not consider, your port forward wont work.

Port Forwarding for the Netgear WGR614v7

On my router I have to specify that the port forward is for my pc and not my dad's etc.

 

[Heta]

that's kind the thing with port forwarding isn't it? you direct a port to a certain IP address, and for it to get to you, you need to name your address, very similar to sending a letter

Also Vlad dont worry about Static IP's.
