Before we can forward ports for BCDC++, we need to figure out what ports BCDC++ is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up BCDC++.
In the menu at the top of your screen click the file option. In the menu that drops down click the Settings link.
In the menu on the left hand side of the window that popped up click the Connection Settings link. You should see a TCP box and an UDP box. Enter a random port into each of these boxes. It doesn't matter what ports you choose, but a port numbers between 10000 and 60000 would be a good idea. A higher numbered port is generally the best to use, because most ISP's do not block the higher numbered ports. Please enter the port you chose for the TCP box into the box below.
Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.254.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BCDC++ requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Edit Application menu and then click Add Definition.
You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Edit Application page. Go ahead and enter those settings and then click Add Definition.
When you are finished, click the Done button at the bottom of your screen. And that is it! You are done!
