Help :S well, i'm trying to forward a port for a runescape private server, the guide i was on told me to go to "198.168.0.1" i typed that in the adress bar but it just didnt load up, help please?

Step 1 : Connect Router - Computer ( Wired)

Step 2 : Open Router Setup by typing http://192.168.2.1 on the address bar of internet explorer

step 3 :click on firewall disable the firewall

step 4 :click dmz - >type in private ip 192.168.2.25

step 5:click on virtual server type description camera inbound port 0 and type tcp&UDP or Both and private IP is 192.168.2.25 and private Port 65535

( Or )

In order to configure this, you need to know:

- The IP address of the computer or device to have the port forwarded to.

- The port numbers to be used and whether these are TCP or UDP ports

(Note: We recommend you use a computer that has a wired connection to the router.)

Setup steps:

1. Open a Web Browser on the computer. Type in http://192.168.2.1
2. In the address bar of the Web Browser type Click Login in the upper right hand corner of the page. The router does not ship with a password, so just click submit.

1. Click on Virtual Servers under Firewall in the menu on the left

1. Enter the following information
2. • Click Enabled
   • Type a general description of the application i.e.. Remote Desktop
   • Type the port(s) specified by the program manufacture for both of the Inbound port fields
   • Select TCP, UDP, or BOTH for the Type.
   • Private IP address: Enter the IP address of the computer you want grant access too.
   • Type the port(s) specified by the program manufacture for both of the Private port fields.

1. Click the Apply Changes button

How do I open ports in the Virtual Server? You need to forward the ports used by the application to the server running the application in the Virtual Server, which is present in the router's management screen, as follows.

1. Open your web browser, type in the router's IP address (standard: 'http://192.168.2.1') and press enter.
2. Click on Login, Advanced Setup, NAT, Virtual Server.
3. Enter the port details and enable it as follows:

Private IP Private Port Type Public Port 192.168.2.x xxx TCP xxx 192.168.2.x xxx UDP xxx To access the application, you can open up the ports specific to the application in the special application, which is present in the router management screen as follows:

1. Open your web browser, type in the router's IP address (standard: 'http://192.168.2.1') and press enter.
2. Click on Login, Advanced Setup, NAT, Special Application.
3. Enter the port details and enable it as follows:

Trigger Port Trigger Type Public Port Public Type Enabled 3724 TCP 3724 TCP Y 6112 TCP 6112 TCP Y 6881 TCP 6881-6999 TCP Y
* The port numbers given are just an example. You need to open the ports depending on the application you are using and should get the information from the application provider.

Server List (Port Forwarding) NQG_025 With NAT enabled, the IP addresses of nodes on your LAN are private since they are hidden from the Internet. IP Servers let you pass specific types of network traffic through the Netopia router's NAT interfaces. Once configured, selected types of network traffic, such as FTP requests or HTTP (Web) connections, will be forwarded to a specific host or server behind the Netopia router. Please Note: From the LAN (Local Area Network), you will also be able to access the servers that are responding to requests from the internet, but only using the internal private IP address. Access via the public IP address is not supported from a local ethernet connection. If your ISP is routing you multiple public IP addresses, you can also configure the router to forward all ports in one public IP to a designated private IP address on your LAN via Easy PAT List entries. For those instructions, see Quick Guide NQG_024: IP Mapping (Address Forwarding).
Please Note: If your router is currently running Netopia Residential Firmware with a web "GUI" configuration menu, this technote is not applicable to you. Most 3300 Series Netopia Gateways can be upgraded to Enterprise level firmware. Click Here! to purchase the upgrade key.

Firmware References:

• v8.2 R1 (and up) - 3300 Enterprise Series
• v5.3.7 (and up) - 4000 Series
• v4.8.2 (and up) - R-Series

Before You Start
Telnet into the Netopia router's Main Menu at 192.168.1.1 (if using the default IP setting). If your network has a different IP addressing scheme, modify this accordingly. Click Here! for instructions on using telnet and Hyperterminal (serial connection).
Login with the user name and password. The Superuser login is required to save changes. If you are unsure of this, contact your network administrator.
Don't forget to press the Enter key to save any entries. Hitting the back space, delete or tab without first hitting enter will undo any changes.
The Esc key will take you back towards the main menu screen.
Once you have completed your configuration, you should reboot the Netopia to save and apply your changes.

The Netopia Main Menu Interface

Server List Configuration

1. From the Main Menu of router console screens, go to Quick Menus, and select Network Address Translation.
2. Select Show/Change Server List.
3. Select Easy-Servers.
4. From the Show/Change NAT Server List screen, select Add Server.
5. Select Service and the service and port you want to allow. If your service and port are not available in the pull-down menu, select Other. Selecting Other will allow you to enter a specific service port or a range of ports since fields are provided for both a First Port Number and a Last Port Number. To allow a specific service port, the First Port Number and Last Port Number should be the same. Select Okay.
6. Next, enter the Server Private IP Address, or the private IP address of the host/server you are forwarding the service to, and the Public IP Address you want to associate with the same host/server. This value can be left set to 0.0.0.0 if you are using the WAN IP as the Public IP address. Note: If your ISP is routing you multiple static IP addresses, other then the one used for Internet access, you may create more than one server for specific service as long as all servers have a different Public IP Address specified. For example, with two web servers on your LAN you would need to create two Server List entries for TCP 80 (www-http). Since each specific port (service) can only be mapped once using any given Public IP Address, a distinct public address must be used for each TCP 80 server list entry. It is not necessary for you to specify more than one Local WAN IP Address or Public IP Address in your router's configuration. As long as you are connecting to your ISP via a public IP address used for NAT, they are responsible for routing all other IP addresses via that connection.
   

Conclusion
You have now configured your router for TCP/UDP port forwarding. If you have a switched connection (ISDN or Analog), you will need to either disconnect and reconnect your Internet connection, or restart your router for the Nat Server List changes to take effect. If you wish to filter traffic for your static IP mappings, please see the following Netopia Technote:
NQG_039: NAT and the Basic Firewall

Your better off not trying to do this because people can see your ip.

you can play all sorts of computer games that are free online with them or some disk based games can be played with others but you both need to have a disk of same game or eing playing it online games that work like this include club pegin and runescape just a couple for example then just get on same world as them

you need to set port forwarding for the correct ports, the default port number is 21. so you need to forward port 21 for 192.168.1.50

then go to www.whatismyip.com

copy your ip and add" :21 " without the " " in to the address so it looks something like this: 85.76.240.1:21

now your friend should be able to login from internet explorer for examble after typeing ftp://yourip:21 or from my computer by typeing ftp://yourip:21 into the address bar.

if you need more assistance let me know. im here to help.
Also if you are intrested we can try remote assistance to solve the problem but I would like some compensation for my time with remote control.

You need to forward the ports used by the application to the server running the application in the Virtual Server, which is present in the router's management screen, as follows. 1. Open your web browser, type in the router's IP address (standard: 'http://192.168.2.1') and press enter. 2. Click on Login, Advanced Setup, NAT, Virtual Server. 3. Enter the port details and enable it as follows: Private IP Private Port Type Public Port 192.168.2.x xxx TCP xxx 192.168.2.x xxx UDP xxx

You can use the Virtual Server to forward an individual port to one of your computers. You cannot forward the same port to multiple computers. In order to configure the Virtual Server you need to know the IP address of the computer that needs the port opened and the service port number. The links below will help you find the IP address of your machine. If you don?t know which port needs to be opened, try checking the software manufacture?s support website for information on use behind firewall. Configuring the Virtual Server: Step 1 Access the device configuration by entering 192.168.0.1 in your web browser. Login with your username and password. The default username is admin and the password is blank. Step 2a If the port you need to forward is a common port, it will be under the predefined virtual server list at the bottom of the page. Click the pad and paper icon next to the virtual server entry you want to use. The Protocol Type and Service Port fields are preconfigured. Click the Enable radio button to use the virtual server. Enter the private IP address of the computer that will use the service port. Configure the Schedule as needed, then Apply your settings. Step 2b If the port you need to forward is not listed under the predefined virtual server list at the bottom of the page, you can create a new entry for your application. Click the Enable radio button to use the virtual server. Give your virtual server a name. Next, enter the private IP address of the computer that will use the service port. Then, select the Protocol Type and enter the Service Port. If you don?t know how to use Private and Public port assignment, then just enter the same port number in both fields. Configure the Schedule as needed and Apply your settings.
