Will port forwarding ruin me wireless connection?

Q. I was wondering if port forwarding my linksys router would have any effect on my wireless connection.

Thanks in advance.

A. Typically port forwarding is done when you want to point a specific protocol to a specific machine...for example having an FTP server sitting behind your router and using port forwarding so any FTP sessions are directly sent to that specific server.

You have to be more specific in what you're doing, but in general if your forwarding packets inbound from the internet to a specific device, and that information isn't meant for your wireless devices, go for it.

However, I'd be curious as to why you need to do port forwarding outside of a proxy server, mail server, or ftp server.

How do I set up a single port forward for my internal ip address?

Q. I currently own a Linksys E3000 router. I've went to a port forward page and I've selected a port that I want to forward. However, I could only assign the port forwards to ip's in this format: 192.168.1.X. but, I want to forward a port that has an ip of this format: 10.X.X.X. Is there still a way I could forward a port in that particular format?

A. No. All the computers have to have an IP address in the same subnet as the router private addresses. It then issues all machines with addresses in that range. you can not talk to a machine in the 10. range from the 192. range as these are totally different subnets. So any machine you want to run within that network MUST have a 192. series and within the same range except for the last octet of the address.

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!

How to port forward with dynamic ip adress?

Q. Hi, can anyone please explain to me how to port forward with a dynamic ip address? I have a linksys router!

A. Which Dynamic IP ????
Your public ip? To get people to connect to a server at home? Then you use a dynamic naming service like DynDNS, DTDNS, or No-IP, and forward a URL name to your home's public IP. You then load one of their utilities that checks the Ip and updates their DNS servers on a regular basis...

If you home LAN IP is dynamic, you cannot port forward to it reliably. Forwarding is to a specific IP address on your home LAN (like 192.168.1.x). You have to make sure the PC you are forwarding to is at a static LAN Ip address, else eventually port forwarding will fail. No way around that - it has to be a LAN static IP.
Public Ip can be dynamic as long as you have a service mentioned above, that keeps things in sync....

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 port forward with Linksys WRT54GL?

Q. I watched some youtube videos and forums about port forwarding with Linksys WRTG54GL. I filled out everything correctly. The port i have to forward is 7915. So for External and Internal i used the # 7915. For protocol i used both. Then for the To IP Address, i filled it using the IPv4 Address. And then i clicked enables and save the settings. But when i check the port with various sites, one of them: whatsmyip.org and it says that the port is closed. What did i do wrong? Could someone make a step by step instruction or video for port forwarding with Linksys WRT54GL, or make a video of port forwarding the port 7915 on a Linksys WRT54GL?
Main reason why i need to port forward is for creating a server for a flight simulator. The flight simulator is YSFlight, i wanted to create a server so that other people could use it, my friends could join, and i could make it a private server by locking out the connections from the server that i have control of.
I did run the server for YSFlight, and still, on whatsmyip.org It says that the port is closed!!! >=|
Yes i did allow the port 7915 on my firewall. This is soo fustrating. If i don't find an answer, i might as well repost it over and over again... =|

A. What service or program are you running over port 7915 that you need traffic forwarded to? If you have nothing open using that port on the computer you're forwarding to, then it will show up as "closed" even if you did properly configure port forwarding..

Update:
Make sure that the IP address you're forwarding to stays static. If you have DHCP enabled and have multiple computers, it's possible that it may be forwarding to the wrong IP address.

Try running the CMD command of "netstat -a" to see if your the port really is open from your computers perspective. If it is you should see something like this:

Proto [SPACE] Local Address [SPACE] Foreign Address [SPACE] State
TCP [SPACE] 0.0.0.0:7915 [SPACE] MY-PC:0 [SPACE] LISTENING

If you don't see that, then your port is considered closed.

Original Question

How can I keep the forwarded ports though my router going to the same computer?

Q. I have a home network. The router has port forwarding, which you set by setting which IP address the ports are forwarded to. But as the computers come and go and are restarted, the router keeps assigning them different addresses, leading to the ports forwarding to different machines all the time, which I'm constantly manually correcting. I've tried setting up the computers with manual IP settings, or using DHCP with a manual IP address, but neither one will work- they only work when configured to use DHCP, and then the addresses keep changing. An old router I had let you reserve an IP address and always assign it to the same MAC address, so the same machine always had a static local IP, but my Linksys Wireless router doesn't appear to offer that. Any idea?

A. Depending on what model Linksys router you have, you can flash it to use a third-party firmware that opens up more options including assigning a static IP to a MAC address (so your computer will always have the same IP).

I don't believe there's a way you can do this with the default Linksys firmware. Again what you want is assigning an IP to a MAC Address which is in the DHCP server settings.

What is the difference between single port forward and port range forwarding?

Q. I'm trying to forward ports in my linksys router settings so that the NAT for my Xbox 360 will be Open.

In the port forwarding menu on my router, there are a few different tabs, 2 of which say Single Port Forwarding, and Port Range Forwarding.

The menu in each tab looks very similar, and I know what to enter and where, but I'm not sure whether I should be entering the port numbers and such in Single Port Forwarding or Port Range Forwarding.

A. Do you know the difference between a single number, and a range of numbers? Yes? Then you know the difference here also.

How do I configure port forwarding when accessing public wireless LAN?

Q. I tried to use some games and programs which require special ports to transfer data. But the connection fails when using access to public wiress LAN such as Linksys routing. How do i configure port forwarding in singapore?

A. In general, you don't. You'd need access to the router configuration to do that, and only the most foolish hotspot operator would let you change the router configuration.

You may be able to tunnel the traffic through a proxy server.

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!

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.

How to port forward with dynamic ip adress?

Q. Hi, can anyone please explain to me how to port forward with a dynamic ip address? I have a linksys router!

A. Which Dynamic IP ????
Your public ip? To get people to connect to a server at home? Then you use a dynamic naming service like DynDNS, DTDNS, or No-IP, and forward a URL name to your home's public IP. You then load one of their utilities that checks the Ip and updates their DNS servers on a regular basis...

If you home LAN IP is dynamic, you cannot port forward to it reliably. Forwarding is to a specific IP address on your home LAN (like 192.168.1.x). You have to make sure the PC you are forwarding to is at a static LAN Ip address, else eventually port forwarding will fail. No way around that - it has to be a LAN static IP.
Public Ip can be dynamic as long as you have a service mentioned above, that keeps things in sync....

How can I keep the forwarded ports though my router going to the same computer?

Q. I have a home network. The router has port forwarding, which you set by setting which IP address the ports are forwarded to. But as the computers come and go and are restarted, the router keeps assigning them different addresses, leading to the ports forwarding to different machines all the time, which I'm constantly manually correcting. I've tried setting up the computers with manual IP settings, or using DHCP with a manual IP address, but neither one will work- they only work when configured to use DHCP, and then the addresses keep changing. An old router I had let you reserve an IP address and always assign it to the same MAC address, so the same machine always had a static local IP, but my Linksys Wireless router doesn't appear to offer that. Any idea?

A. Depending on what model Linksys router you have, you can flash it to use a third-party firmware that opens up more options including assigning a static IP to a MAC address (so your computer will always have the same IP).

I don't believe there's a way you can do this with the default Linksys firmware. Again what you want is assigning an IP to a MAC Address which is in the DHCP server settings.

What is the difference between single port forward and port range forwarding?

Q. I'm trying to forward ports in my linksys router settings so that the NAT for my Xbox 360 will be Open.

In the port forwarding menu on my router, there are a few different tabs, 2 of which say Single Port Forwarding, and Port Range Forwarding.

The menu in each tab looks very similar, and I know what to enter and where, but I'm not sure whether I should be entering the port numbers and such in Single Port Forwarding or Port Range Forwarding.

A. Do you know the difference between a single number, and a range of numbers? Yes? Then you know the difference here also.
