Why not go to thier site and look up the manual on how to forward ports? That would be a lot quicker.

Yeah right, thoes official sites are crap. It's best if you hear from people that actually can tell you instead of some archived pages. First, the fastest way to find your router control panel is do this:

I almost forgot! When trying to log in, the user name is almost always admin or blank, and you don't enter a password the firs time you log in. If you only have the choice of putting in a password, it's usually blank or admin untill you set one.

You could try http://www.whatismyip.com/ and copy that into the address bar. Worked for me anyways =)

ok weird thing is.... that website says my ip adress is 24.59.36.50, but to connect to my Router i need to put in 192.168.0.1, now i think i tried to set up that DMZ thing before and maybe thats why my ip address is dif? or maybe i messed it up or sumthing, cus even after i tried to set it up like a month or 2 ago i still cant host....

http://www.whatismyip.com shows you your external IP address. 192.168.0.[something] is your internal IP address. Your external IP address is shared by all the computers on your LAN, and is the one you use to access the internet. Your internal IP address is only valid for other computers on your LAN.
The command you were looking for is winipcfg. ipconfig works only on Windows NT/2000/XP. |
