Port Forwarding
I want to port forward my Scientific Atlanta 2100 modem, however I cant get to the setup option on my modems "about your modem" page:
http://192.168.100.1/ The location of the option (Yellow dot) does not have the setup option or allow me to click on it. Is this correct ? If iy is how where can I find out how to port forward ports ? Can it be done on VM ? |
Re: Port Forwarding
You need a router for port forwarding, not a modem.

Re: Port Forwarding
As Paul has stated above you need a router for port forwarding.
For further information after obtaining a router you can use Port Forward for details on how to port forward using specific brands of router. |

Hi yeah i have set the ip as the 192.168 but when i do a port check it seems to be doing it on a completely different ip address i am not brilliant with network so that has had me scratching my head lol. I did the whole set a static ip in vista no problem.

Re: Port Forwarding
You may have forwarded to the IP of the router rather than the private IP of the pc you want the rule to work on.

Re: Port Forwarding
If you use port forwarding, make sure you manually assign IP's to your networked computers otherwise the DHCP might assign a different IP to the computer that you're trying to forward to.

Re: Port Forwarding
I have setup the static ip through windows vista and do not use the "obtain an ip automatically" thing. I read through port forward on how to do that and then followed the instructions for port forwarding through my router (edimax br6104k) as i said networking is not something i have overly bothered with so i might be missing something really simple along the way. I have enabled virtual server with the 192.168.x.x address on the port i want open and disabled the router firewall and nothing port still blocked so i re-enabled the firewall. I will do my usual thing of had a go hit a problem go away have a think come back to it later.

No i havn't i configured it to allow traffic on the port in question in both tcp&udp and thought that was all i needed to do with regard to the vista firewall as well as unblock the application in question.
