I have a cellpipe 50a router, and I can\'t figure out how to configure it to open a port for file sharing and whatnot.
-
port forwarding
thats what yer looking for
yer router will assume the IP given to you by yer ISP (ex. 24.16.208.46)
then it will assign IP\'s to yer PC\'s (usually in the 192.168.x.x range)
open up port 21 to forward to whatever PC(s) you want
thats a lucent router, heavy piece of equipment for an avg user

And confusing as hell HyperTerminal modifying program too..
anyway,
I found something called NAT
in NAT I can set static maps (which the book on the router seems to describe what your saying)
It has the following fields:
Dst Port #=
Protocol = (TCP or UDP)
Loc Port #=
Loc Adrs = (presumably 192.168.1.2)
-
dst port = destination port
loc port = local port
make them both 21
protocol is TCP (transmission control protocol aka TCP/IP)
UDP is more for norvell netware networks (user datagram protocol)
loc adrs = local address - make this the pc you want the info to route to. you can find out the IP of yer local machine by going to a command prompt and typing ipconfig
btw, NAT is Network Address Translation (way to give a machine access to a network)
it might make this easier if u tell me what progam yer trying to get running.
-
1.) AIM/ICQ with direct connect..
2.) MIRC with DCC
3.) Edonkey/Overnet with http://www.overnet.com
-
aim/icq will stop at any firewall, they are bitches to get to work
youll have to find out specifically what port mirc is trying to use, and open it
same with edonkey i presume, although ive never used it
yer best bet is to use an FTP program such as cuteFTP or wsFTP or bulletproofFTP if yer gonna transfer files to people
they are designed much more secure AND easier to use
-
hmm, I opened port 21
and AIM direct connect seems to be working (actually, It just did not with another person) so nevermind that
one last question
what is the difference between
dst port = destination port and
loc port = local port
-
dest port is where its coming from/ going to
loc port is yer machine
AIM must use port 21 then
good yer learning the basics of networking
thats my career
:)
-
how would I find out the port of my machine?
-
you always wanna use yer WAN (router) IP
the 192.168.x.x IP is an internal IP and cant openly be seen outside yer network
go here to find out yer ISP IP
http://www.lawrencegoetz.com/programs/ipinfo/
thats the IP you would give to someone if you were running an FTP, and use port 21 (or whatever else u specify) and yer router will direct them to yer machine
-
I know the IP of my machine, but there are 2 places for ports
the Dst and Loc port #\'s
how can I tell what my local port number is..
The IP of my computer is 192.168.1.2 however the loc port is differnt alltogether
-
make then the same
FTP (file transfer protocol) is port 21 by default but yer ISP might be scanning that port if they dont want you running an FTP
so use 27015 which is the default quake 3 port if you want to
you can make them different, but that complicates things
if you wanna open a basic FTP that people can connect to, or even use thier Ie browser to download files from you, get a program called Serv-u
very easy to use and very secure
PM me if you cant find it
-
ok, thank you very much.. :)
if this does not work, what other options do I have
what other setting on the router should I look for?
-
thats about it
does it have an internal firewall? that would prevent access
if yer using winXP, it has it own default piece of shit firewall protection, turn that shit off as it will cause nothing but problems
-
the crappy WINXP firewall is off,
is that what you refered to as the internal firewall?
-
OMFG..
I got it to work in MIRC..
i\'ve been trying to get this to work for many months..
Thank you very very much MM :)

/me takes a bow

Different file-sharing programs will use different ports so you may have to open them depending on what you run. I don\'t know what EDonkey uses though.

Edonkey uses 2 ports, one TCP and one UPD
You can set them themselves in the program.
I would highly suggest using it, sometimes its slow but its the best solution to *cough*moviesgames*cough* umm... to download freeware.
PM if you want a link to make things easier to find stuff.
-
TCP and UDP are protocols but I get the gist of what you\'re sayin there G.
So answer me this: Does it find teh pr0n?
