How do i find information about my address and port?

1. Select Port Forwarding/Port Triggering under Advanced in the main menu.





2. From the Service Name list, select the service or game that you will host on your network. If the service does not appear in the list, see the following section, "Adding a Custom Service."
3. In the corresponding Server IP Address fields, enter the last digit of the IP address of your








local computer that will provide this service.
4. To the right of Server IP Address, click Add. The service appears in the list in the screen
To define a service, game, or application that does not appear in the Service Name list, you must first determine which port number or range of numbers is used by the application. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or newsgroups. When you have the port number information, follow these steps:

Adding a Custom Service.
1. Select Port Forwarding/Port Triggering under Advanced in the main menu.
2. Click Add Service (see Figure 5-1 on page 5-7).The Ports-Custom Services screen displays.
3. In the Service Name field, enter a descriptive name.
4. In the Service Type field, select the protocol. If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP.
5. In the Starting Port field, enter the beginning port number.
• If the application uses only a single port, enter the same port number in the Ending Port
field.
• If the application uses a range of ports, enter the ending port number of the range in the
Ending Port field.
6. In the Server IP Address field, enter the IP address of your local computer that will provide
this service.
7. Click Apply.

Your computer is connected to the router. check the port lights on the router. If your computer is connected to number 1 port on the router then you will see port 1 light on the router.
Connect your computer to one of port 1, 2, 3, or 4. Not to the Internet port.
If the port light is not lit up then check the connections. Make sure that there is no loose connection.
If ti is lit up then check the IP address on your computer. The default gateway number wil be the IP address of the router. Use that number to access the rotuer settings. Some times the Ip address of the router will be different ( Depends on ISP ).
Once you have correct I address of the router then try to ping that number and check if you get replies.

I fixed all i had to do is just find out my IPv4 Address
Which i found by searching CMD and then typing in IPCONFIG and press enter.
Then look for your IPv4 address and put that in the private ip address part in Virtual Servers.

What is the manufacturer of your router so I can get a user guide and taylor the instructions if needed?

Generally I would statically address the device to be forwarded to. If your router address is 192.168.1.1 and Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and it's DHCP server controls address 192.168.1.100 for 50 leases to 192.168.1.149 then consider using the range 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.99 uniquely as static IP addresses. There are more starting at 192.169.1.150 but let's ignore them for now. In the network adapter to recieve port forwarded content assign a static IP address based on the above as say 192.168.1.15 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1. The DNS addresses should also be static however depending on your router there may be an option. Some routers allow their address to be entered as the DNS address and pass requests as appropriate to the DNS servers loaded in their lan configurations, otherwise you will enter your ISP supplied DNS addresses into the network configuration.

Now that we have established a stable IP address to forward the port to we need to tell the router everything it sees for port 5060 gets forwarded to IP Address 192.168.1.15 port 8000. If detailed instructions are needed I will need to know the manufacturer and model of your router.

Please provide the additional information and any questions in a response to this problem and I will respond when available.
