Port Forwarding for the Dlink DSL-G624T


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

Since you are reading this guide, I'm going to assume that you have Bit Tornado installed. Open up Bit Tornado.



Close to the top you will see a Prefs link. Go ahead and click that link now.



The Port Range box defines the ports that Bit Tornado will use. These are the ports that you need to forward to your computer. Bit Tornado does not need the full 50,000 ports that come predefined. Go ahead and uncheck the Random checkbox. Enter 10000 into the From box, and enter 10010 into the To box. If you expect to download more than 10 files at the same time, then you should make this range of ports larger.



On this page there is a UPNP Port Forwarding drop down box. Open it up and set that box to disabled. We are not going to use UPNP to forward our ports. Now go find your router on our routers page, and forward the port range you set above.




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 top of the page.

The menu on the left should change. In this new menu, click Virtual Server.




Put a dot into the User radio button.


Click the Add button near the bottom of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BitTornado requires you to forward the 10000-10010 ports. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Rule Managment menu and then click Apply.




Select the applications you just created in the Available Rules list, then click the Add > button to move them to the Applied Rules box. When you are finished, click the Apply button.

Click the Tools button near the top of the page.

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




When you're finished, click Save and Reboot near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
