How do i port forward a minecraft server with 1 modem and 1 router?

Q. I do not know the modem but i believe the router is a Cisco - WRT320N (Linksys Firmware) please help i realy want a server

A. I have a Linksys E2500 it's the router i made my sever whit what you have do is go on to this http://portforward.com/ and put in Cisco and the router but there is no WRT320N but if it like mine then put in your IP and look for applications and gaming and look for Port Range Forwarding once your in put in 25565 for the Start and end Port and open up the start thing and look for CMD and once you in the CMD put in ipconfig now put look for IPv4 address now go back to were you were and put in that IP next put in a Application Name anything will work for the name and click on Enabled and save it ok now turn on the sever and go to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and put in 25565 as the port if it works look for your external address and thats you IP!


Is it worth modifying my Linksys WRT600N router?
Q. Ive read that there are different firmwares that can be installed onto the router that can allow it to function differently than with Linksys' firmware.....what are the benefits/disadvantages for modifying the firmware of my WRT600N or WRT350N?

A. In my opinion. NO.

Here are some of the things I think of:

1)You add the wrong firmware and the router becomes a piece of electronic rubbish. Linksys probably won't honor your warranty at that point.

2) Warranty, say goodbye to it.

3) You could get firmware that creates a problem with the broadcast signal in such a manner as to violate FCC regs. Doubt anyone would notice but it might happen.

The advantage could be smoother operation, or to add a function like bridging for example. Most commercial routers operate in router or bridge mode. The bridge mode makes your router act like an extender for other wireless routers.

So, if your warranty is gone already, and you want a wireless bridge device, it may be worth the risk.


How can i lock my internet network in my pc in my pc, so that my pc does not look for other networks?
Q. I have a linksys firmware 2. My internet keeps on disappearing every 3 or so minutes. The cause maybe that the labtop network my pc is picking up is trying to connect to that network than my own.

A. I presume you are talking about a wireless link to the router. It seems odd that your pc wants to go to another network. If so the other networks have security issues.

Anyway, you should be able to select your own network and it should not be jumping as you suggest.

I think the real issue is something else, like an intermittant problem with the router dependability. Some Linksys models are famous for failing after a while. See if there is new firmware for it as this may fix the problem.


Where could I find a programmer to collaborate with on open source wifi router software with?
Q. I would like to create a custom firmware package for off the shelf wifi routers, (linksys/cisco is my preference) open sourced, for an art project. Project is funded and programmer would receive all money beyond hardware purchase requirements to get the project off the ground. I will receive no money, but will retain IP of project.

How do i get this firmware off my LinkSys Wireless WRT54GS?
Q. I flashed the dd_wrt_micro firmware to my router hoping it would fix my problem. It didn't! I have a LinkSys WRT54GS v5 Wireless router and now I can not connect to the internet through it. How do I replace dd_wrt_micro with the original LinkSys firmware?

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 to open linksys firmware update on Imac?
Q. I just went to the linksys webpage and updated the firmware to 1.02.5 but the file never opened and said choose an application to open it. What would I used to open this file on an imac and set it up?

A. Don't open it just click cancel. Then go to 192.168.1.1 or what ever your router's ip is. Then log in, the default password is usually admin for name and a blank password or reverse it blank name and admin for the password. On the most common router, the WRT54G you click on administration on the top and then firmware upgrade. Then click choose file and click on the unopened .bin file. DO NOT uncompressed the .bin file it must be the original compressed .bin file or you could ruin the router!.

My befsr41 router keeps disconnecting can you help?
Q. I called linksys, upgraded firmware, switched modem to all modes available and configured router accordingly. I am at my wits end. I had an old version of this same router and it worked fine until it just died one day......Does anybody have any other ideas?
Sleepy...Connection works when I plug it directly into the modem. Tried to respond to your answer but was disconnected.

A. had the same problem with my linksys wrt54g. I tried everything you listed and finally came to my senses and just called my internet provider. The problem was i had a bad connection through my cable modem and the cable that ran through my house to my box was bad. Try calling your internet provider and have them come by and look at your modem and your connection. It worked for me.

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 to open linksys firmware update on Imac?
Q. I just went to the linksys webpage and updated the firmware to 1.02.5 but the file never opened and said choose an application to open it. What would I used to open this file on an imac and set it up?

A. Don't open it just click cancel. Then go to 192.168.1.1 or what ever your router's ip is. Then log in, the default password is usually admin for name and a blank password or reverse it blank name and admin for the password. On the most common router, the WRT54G you click on administration on the top and then firmware upgrade. Then click choose file and click on the unopened .bin file. DO NOT uncompressed the .bin file it must be the original compressed .bin file or you could ruin the router!.


My befsr41 router keeps disconnecting can you help?
Q. I called linksys, upgraded firmware, switched modem to all modes available and configured router accordingly. I am at my wits end. I had an old version of this same router and it worked fine until it just died one day......Does anybody have any other ideas?
Sleepy...Connection works when I plug it directly into the modem. Tried to respond to your answer but was disconnected.

A. had the same problem with my linksys wrt54g. I tried everything you listed and finally came to my senses and just called my internet provider. The problem was i had a bad connection through my cable modem and the cable that ran through my house to my box was bad. Try calling your internet provider and have them come by and look at your modem and your connection. It worked for me.


How to set up linksys router for playing xbox online?

A. flash the firmware to the router ... see if that's the problem... or maybe you just have a shoddy router.

Is it worth modifying my Linksys WRT600N router?

Q. Ive read that there are different firmwares that can be installed onto the router that can allow it to function differently than with Linksys' firmware.....what are the benefits/disadvantages for modifying the firmware of my WRT600N or WRT350N?

A. In my opinion. NO.

Here are some of the things I think of:

1)You add the wrong firmware and the router becomes a piece of electronic rubbish. Linksys probably won't honor your warranty at that point.

2) Warranty, say goodbye to it.

3) You could get firmware that creates a problem with the broadcast signal in such a manner as to violate FCC regs. Doubt anyone would notice but it might happen.

The advantage could be smoother operation, or to add a function like bridging for example. Most commercial routers operate in router or bridge mode. The bridge mode makes your router act like an extender for other wireless routers.

So, if your warranty is gone already, and you want a wireless bridge device, it may be worth the risk.


How can i lock my internet network in my pc in my pc, so that my pc does not look for other networks?
Q. I have a linksys firmware 2. My internet keeps on disappearing every 3 or so minutes. The cause maybe that the labtop network my pc is picking up is trying to connect to that network than my own.

A. I presume you are talking about a wireless link to the router. It seems odd that your pc wants to go to another network. If so the other networks have security issues.

Anyway, you should be able to select your own network and it should not be jumping as you suggest.

I think the real issue is something else, like an intermittant problem with the router dependability. Some Linksys models are famous for failing after a while. See if there is new firmware for it as this may fix the problem.
