Smo™ Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'm having a bit of a problem trying to figure out how to Port forward using my BT Voyager 2000 Wireless Router. From what I understand, I have to access my router settings, then choose 'Virtual Server' and click on 'Create a new server'. When I do this I get the following screen: http://img80.exs.cx/img80/9575/portforward7bx.jpg From here I don't know what to do, I can't find any guides online that cover this exact router, it's always the Voyager 2100 series. These are the instructions I am trying to follow: '3. After you connect to your router you will have to select Virtual Server. Once there you can forward ports in your router (Or else people can't connect). Forward the following ports to your Computer IP: * 44405 TCP * 55557 UDP * 55970 TCP * 55971 TCP * 55960 TCP * 55961 TCP * 55962 TCP * 55557 TCP * 55901 TCP' The guide says the forward the ports to my Computer IP, I'm guessing this means my LAN IP (usually something like 192.168.1.1), and not my WAN/Global one? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 My experience of that router is it's a pain in the arse. Your best bet is probably to install the uPnP bit for windows (Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components, Networky type stuff) Assuming the software/P2P client you're using supports it, it'll ask the router to open the appropriate ports when they're needed.

Smo™ Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Well y'see, I'm trying to use my computer to run a gameserver (which I've done successfully on LAN) using Global Configuration, so that anybody on the net can connect to it (I'm using a DNS Host to redirect to my Local IP). The router is just being a pain in the arse. Have I done it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick_spider Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 looks almost right... The IP there should probably be your IP, and I'd guess the 192.168.1.1 is the IP of the router. The external packet port needs to be set to the right number and UDP too. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smo™ Posted February 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 So I want the ports to forward to my WAN IP? What do you think the External Packet Port should be? People will be connecting to my computer using a game client, so I'm guessing the External Packet should be user defined? I guessed that the External Packet should be port 80 (HTTP) because the IP that people are using to connect to my server is smomu.no-ip.info which is a web redirect to my WAN IP.

24seven Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 * 44405 TCP * 55557 UDP * 55970 TCP * 55971 TCP * 55960 TCP * 55961 TCP * 55962 TCP * 55557 TCP * 55901 TCP for 55557 the config will be External Packet Protocol : UDP TCP/IP Port : User Define as : 55557 Internal Host IP Address : IP of the machine you want to forward the port to, e.g. if the machine was 192.168.1.12 then thats what you would put. TCP/IP Port : This will just be 55557 again as thats the port you want forwarded The just work through the list, changing the port and protocol where needed.
