Port Forwarding Half Life 2 Steam Server on the BT Voyager 2091


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?


 

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 192.168.1.1.




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 of the page.

Click the Configuration link near the left of the page.

You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Virtual Server.




Click the Port Forwarding link near the top of the page.

Click the Add button near the right of the page.

Put a dot into the User Defined radio button.
