Hi Try the below steps: 1. Log into the configuration page of your Linksys using a web browser by entering 192.168.1.1 in the URL bar. Enter "admin" as both the username and the password. These are the default settings; if any of the settings have been changed, then enter the updated information. 2. Select "Port Range Forwarding" from under the "Applications & Gaming" tab on from the configuration page. Enter the name of the application in the "Application" field, and the starting and ending port numbers in the appropriate fields, as many applications use a range of consecutive numbers for the port number. If your application uses only one port number then input the same number in both the "Start" and the "End" fields. 3.Click on the "Save" button at the bottom of the window to save any changes you have made. Make sure your changes have taken effect by testing an application. Hope this helps.
