Port forwarding trouble

Hello Michael Yancy,

Seems to be a bit dated... but the AMATEURS that have these ... like them.

Those trying to set them up... Not-so-much

You Will Have to Disable the Firewall In Your modem / Router

And IF it is a router then Open The Ports

• TCP 80
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074
• UDP 53
• TCP 53

And also make sure that UPnP is Enabled

What you need to make sure first is how to login to the GUI of your router ; from there you'll be alright - just make sure you already have all your ports ready...

the modem gets heated up that wise

I use tcp optimizer, it's by far the easiest way to change those settings.. it is available for free download here. Make sure you read the instructions on the download page.

Actually the application may be games or any other software which it setted port is not open/accessable through your router and it will work by default ports and the speed or the performance is very slow- Try to configure proper port forwarding according to the application port settings check those ports are open after configuration

Garbow,

You need to setup a feature called "Port Forwarding." Do you know what program you will use to access your desktop remotely? I recommend windows windows remote desktop or VNC programs.

The link below is a complete walkthrough on how to enable port forwarding for windows remote desktop from a westell 327.

There is an alternative option called a DMZ which you could use. Let me know if you need further assistance.

do you have login access into the Modem/Router?
if yes, look for port forwarding and set it to your IP of your computer. open port 500 or what ever is required by MS fro the VPN

As I had mentioned earlier to another gentleman, who had a similar issue; those SOHO routers and modem/routers have issues with their advanced functionalities which includes port forwarding. The first thing you must do is - Make sure 'block anonymous internet requests', is disabled in the router's settings - Go to the following website http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scanner/ - Try to see if there is a service running on port 80 If the port is open (which I believe would be a least possibility), there is something else we are missing here. Get back to me with further observations Good Luck
