How do i port forward my linksys?

Q. Hey, I have a WRT54G Linksys router, and a 10.5.8 Mac OS. I would like to port forward so i can host a server on Minecraft, but the game doesn't matter, I just need step by step instructions to port forward my Linksys WRT54G router with my Mac 10.5.8 OS. ALSO I DO NOT have an airport router, so don't tell me to use airport utility, Thanks

A. Hey, you have the exact same router as me. Anyways, I got my help from a Minecraft Forum post. Here is the link:

How do you forward your ports so you can play Warcraft using a Linksys Router?
Q. So...I have a linksys router and I want to host games in Warcraft III, but it won't let me. I looked around the internet and found that you need to forward your ports to 6112 or something like that. I went to this website http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Warcraft_III.htm and it said to put your static ip address into the browser and a log in box will come up. Well, I did what it said and I put the default log in and when I did that, I believe I logged in, but it led me to a blank site. It's supposed to lead me to the linksys firmware site or w/e, but instead it directed me to a blank site and said it was done. So I'm not really sure what to do and I really want to host my own games in Warcraft III so someone help me with my port forwarding linksys problem please?

A. I've had this same problem too, but I got my hosting games to work this way...

Go to Start, and push run.

Type cmd and push okay.

Now, type "ipconfig" (without the quotes)

Look for Default Gateway, and enter the number in any Web Browser (IE, FireFox, Opera)

That should take you to your router settings...

Now look for something like Virtual Servers, or Port Forwarding...

Then enter 6112 in the ports to open for UDP, and input whatever else it tells you to.

If all that doesn't work, try disabling your firewall, and if you can host games after that, go to your firewall and look for an option to open ports, then open port 6112...


How do you port forward on a wireless Macbook?
Q. My laptop is the only computer that's linked to my linksys router. When the laptop is plugged into the router the port forwarding works perfectly. What I'm trying to accomplish is being able to keep those settings while being completely wireless. Is this even possible? Help me out guys.
Also, how do you set up a static IP on a wireless Macbook?

A. Well, port forwarding is all controlled by the ROUTER! Ports are forwarded to a particular IP not a particular NIC so wired or wireless is not the issue. The issue is setting the IP to match your Wireless Card. (Your MacOS should allow you to set the IP for the wireless if so just set it to the same IP as your wired nic. don't even think of trying to use them both at the same time.)
The other option is open the router and portforward to the Wireless IP instead of the wired one!
A good site to help you is http://portforward.com

Hope that Helps -- happy Surfing!


Do I have to port forward for both my Ethernet and Wi-FI connections?
Q. I want to port forward my router, a Linksys WRT54G3G-ST for Azureus. I am running Win Xp Pro.

A. With that router you should just have a tab for applications and gaming. Under that tab you can do your port forwards. The type of connection doesn't matter. It forwards to the IP address of your machine. How it travels to that IP address (wireless or wired) doesn't matter.
