Port Forwarding for the 3com OfficeConnect 3cr856-95


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

Before we can forward ports for BYOND's pager, we need to figure out what ports BYOND's pager is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Dream Seeker.



Click Options in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click Preferences.



Click Pager tab at the top of this new window. You should now see the menu shown in the screenshot above. Enter a port number into the Pager Port box. It doesn't really matter what port you choose, but something between 10000 and 16000 would be a good idea. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!




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 192.168.2.1.




You should see a box prompting you for your password. Enter your password now. By default your password is admin. Click the Log in button to log in to your router.




Click the Firewall link.


Click the New button.


Select Custom from the Local Service drop down box.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BYOND Dream Seeker requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual Server Settings menu and then click Apply.

And that is it! You are done!
