What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?


 



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.




Enter the name of the program into the Rule 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. Use the Protocol drop down box to select the protocol type of the ports you are forwarding. If you are forwarding a single port, enter that port number into the Port Start, Port Map and the Port End boxes. If you are forwarding a range of ports, enter the lowest number of that range into the Port Start, Port Map box. Then enter the highest number of that range into the Port End box. When you are finished, click the Apply button.


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!
