| 605017 | 2007-10-24 23:49:00 | Well I just tried opening 'ipconfig' and a box just quickly flashed up and went again - despite several attempts to screen grab I have had no avail. The wireless box just says Netgear on it and doesn't specify an actual model name/number. I do have admin passwords for all the computers relevant in this thread. |

You're not following instructions :rolleyes:. Don't run ipconfig directly from the run box; you'll need to run it from that black command-line thingy. Then it will stay put so that you can get the numbers out. Pay very close attention to post #9. The wireless box just says Netgear on it and doesn't specify an actual model name/number.OK - do you know how old it is? Is there any sticker on it that may indicate the age? I do have admin passwords for all the computers relevant in this thread.It's not the admin password for the computers you need, it's the admin username/password for the Netgear router. If you don't know it, you may need to ask your Dad for this. |

Click 'Start', then 'Run'. Type cmd in the box and click OK. Type 'ipconfig' in the black box that appears and press enter. Post the information for 'gateway' and 'ip address' back here. |

| 605020 | 2007-10-24 23:58:00 | OK, after learning to read and applying these new skills to the thread in question. ----------- Wireless LAN Adaptor wireless connection 2 Connection=specific DNS suffix Link-local IPv6 address - fe80:d1e9:fe4a:8d8d:eb0%12 IPv4 address - 192.168.0.5 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway - 192.168.0.1 -------------------- My Sky box is at the very oldest, 2 years old although I would put good money it was a 2007 model. |

| 605021 | 2007-10-25 00:02:00 | OK. Go to 192.168.0.1/ and log in with the user for your router (I assume you have these, as you have not posted back saying otherwise). Does the login box say the model number/code of the router? | Erayd (23) | ||

| 605023 | 2007-10-25 00:13:00 | This (kbserver.netgear.com) (pdf) appears to be the manual for your router. Look at the 'Inbound Rules' section (page 5-7, chapter 5). Are you able to follow these instructions or will you need help with this? The IP address for 'Send To LAN Server' is 192.168.0.5 (the 'ip address' you retrieved from the black box before). Note that you will also need to define a custom service for the ports you want to run DC++ on ('How To Define Services', page 5-13, chapter 5). |

| 605024 | 2007-10-25 00:21:00 | I've got to head off now, could someone else (wainuitech maybe?) pick this up? I'll be back in a few hours if it isn't resolved by then. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 605025 | 2007-10-25 00:36:00 | It is of no worry anymore tonight - I cannot find my Dads password book and as he is in hospital and it's 2am over here I think I am going to give up my quest for tonight. Thank you all for your help however and I will pop on tomorrow to let you know how it goes. | Varg (12962) | ||
| 605026 | 2007-10-25 02:30:00 | DC++ is a bit problematic to get running behind a router, as well as specifying a port in the program and pinholing that port in the router ( aka port-forwarding ) you also need to specify your external IP address in the program. If you have a dynamic IP address then you need to use a program such as no-ip ( google it ) or dynamic DNS and use the IP address that gives you. If you google setting up DC++ to work behind a router you should be able to find instructions as this is a common problem for new users. Try combining DC++ with the phrases "dynamic IP" and "port forwarding" |
