Port Forwarding
 

On the port forwarding page for my router....do u type in the default gate way or my ip adress where it gives u that last blank??

the screenshots here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=23369 should help.

On a Linksys, you just type in the machine's local IP and port (check TCP and UDP) on the port forwarding page.

thanks...and what about the DMZ host someone told me to enable that

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuu??? ? ? ?

Forget DMZ as it opens all ports and expose you to internet worms. Moreover I found the DMZ hosts in Linksys routers to be working poorly.

Bonne chance

well now.........how do i disable it?

you put a 0 ie: 192.168.1.0 in your dmz tab (if it is a linksys router, of course)

bonne chance

Im not sure what to type in for my ip adress on the port forwarding page i clicked the DHCP table and it gives me the one im connecteing to upstairs and my own.....(WIRELESS)

You have to choose between a static IP given by the router or a dynamic one (DHCP) that will change sometimes and make port forward useless.

I copied a part of one of my old post:

To get a static address (much better for setting port forwarding):

To open port 6346 on router and make port fowarding:

This site is great and much more efficient that I would be explaining things once by once to you.

Bonne chance
:cool:

thanks alot!

ok.........

The acutal cable modem is upstairs on a different computer with the router.....i just have the wireless thing, do i also have to set up port forwarding upstairs on the computer with the cable modem or just mine with the little wireless adapter thing???? because i set up port forwarding for my comp and its slightly better.....................

That doesn't matter, really. Wireless does not matter either.

See my post there http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=25119

to become really unfirewalled.

Bonne chance
