| 477574 | 2006-08-10 07:42:00 | Hi Can someone teach me how to do port forwarding? I've been trying it for so long, but still don't get it. I red the articles at www.portforward.com but still don't get it. Especially the part where it says that I need a static IP. Isn't Static IP the ones that we have to order from our ISP and get charged for $17 per month or something ? could someone please help me. I am using DLINK504T router and trying to forward to port 59. Thanx :confused: |

This means that you need to set up this computer to use a fixed IP address within your local network IP block. Please log in to your router find the following so we can give clear instructions: Router IP address Netmask (should be near the router IP address) DHCP address ranges (the range of addresses automatically allocated by the router.) P.S. If you got the router from Xtra is may be intentionally crippled. I once bricked a router trying to replace their crippled firmware with the original thing so I could do prot forwarding. |

There is a section in the router software that knows about various progs/games and if yours is there all you need to do is add it. Worked great for me. Worth checking, anyway. | linw (53) | ||
