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.




You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.




Click the Advanced link near the left side of the page.




Click the Continue to Advanced link near the center of the page.

The menu on the left should change. In this new menu, click Application Sharing.




Click the click here link near the center of the page.




Enter the name of the program into the Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea. Put a dot into the Manual Entry of Port Maps radio button. Click the Next button.
