Help with Port Forwarding

[Sakuhta]

If you're having trouble with port forwarding, I have a connection setup that has helped me and plenty of friends.

Step 1 Open Windows networking.
With Windows 2000/XP:

• Go to Start > Control Panel, then double click on "Network conections".
• Find the network connection used to connect to the internet (usually "Local Area Connection"). Right click on it, and select Properties.

With Windows 95/98/Me:

• Right click on "Network Neighbourhood" and select Properties.

Step 2 Set your machine to use a static IP.

• In the window that appears, look for "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". It may be near the end of the list. Click on that, and then click Properties.
• In the window that appears, check the box "Use the following IP address".
• Set IP Address to 192.168.1.10
• Set subnet to 255.255.255.0
• Set gateway to 192.168.1.1
• DNS should be 192.168.1.1 (this should be your routers I.P., could also be 192.168.0.1, if you don't know this, you should not be configuring this information anyways)
• Now click OK, and then OK again.

Now, on your router, forward all the ports you want to go to your computer to the I.P. 192.168.1.10.
