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 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.

Original Question

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.

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 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.

How can i port forward my wii?

Q. i have a wrt54g2 router and i think i need to port forward my wii because every time i play mw reflex i get an error, unable to connect to host. I know the password for the linksys page but i dont know how exactly to portforward.

A. Port forwarding might help as it maximises your connection. To port forward with the Wii, you need to set up a static IP address for it.

First, configure your router:

Log in to your router.
Click on Applications and Gaming.

On the Port Range Forward/Port Range page:

In the Application box, type "Wii".
In the Start box, type "1".
In the End box, type "65535".
In the Protocol box, select "Both".
In the IP Address box, type the number that you want your Wii's static IP address to be.
Tick the Enable box.
Click on Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.

Now your router is set up for port forwarding, you can configure a static IP for your Wii:

Click on Wii Options (bottom left on main Wii menu).
Click on Wii Settings.
Wii System Settings 1: Click right arrow.
Wii System Settings 2: Click on Internet.
Internet: Click on Connection Settings.
Connection Settings: Click on a connection (1, 2, or 3).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Click on Wireless.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Click on Manual Setup.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Enter SSID (you'll find this on the back/bottom of your router).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Select type of security (WEP, WPA etc; you'll find the key on the back/bottom of your router).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Auto obtain IP and/or DNS? Select No.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Advanced Settings: Enter the IP address that you inputted into your router, the subnet mask, default gateway and DNS details (to find these details, on your computer, click Start, then Run. Type "cmd" and click Ok. In the command prompt window, type "ipconfig/all". This will display the required details).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): MTU Value: type "1500".
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Save settings.

And that should be it - your Wii's Internet connection should now run smoothly. If that didn't work, then sorry I have no other suggestions without seeing your setup.

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!

Will port forwarding make it impossible for others to connect?

Q. My neighbor is using the same dsl connection that I am, and I'm experiencing low download speeds on utorrent. If I use port forwarding will he still be able to connect? We're using a linksys wrt54gs router. Utorrent says a firewall/router is limiting my connection. I've already made sure utorrent is an exception for my xp firewall.

A. Port forwarding simply means all *incoming* requests for an application (in this case bittorrent) will be forwarded to your computer instead of reaching a dead end at the linksys router. This won't have any effect on your neighbor at all.

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....

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 can i port forward my wii?

Q. i have a wrt54g2 router and i think i need to port forward my wii because every time i play mw reflex i get an error, unable to connect to host. I know the password for the linksys page but i dont know how exactly to portforward.

A. Port forwarding might help as it maximises your connection. To port forward with the Wii, you need to set up a static IP address for it.

First, configure your router:

Log in to your router.
Click on Applications and Gaming.

On the Port Range Forward/Port Range page:

In the Application box, type "Wii".
In the Start box, type "1".
In the End box, type "65535".
In the Protocol box, select "Both".
In the IP Address box, type the number that you want your Wii's static IP address to be.
Tick the Enable box.
Click on Save Settings at the bottom of the screen.

Now your router is set up for port forwarding, you can configure a static IP for your Wii:

Click on Wii Options (bottom left on main Wii menu).
Click on Wii Settings.
Wii System Settings 1: Click right arrow.
Wii System Settings 2: Click on Internet.
Internet: Click on Connection Settings.
Connection Settings: Click on a connection (1, 2, or 3).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Click on Wireless.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Click on Manual Setup.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Enter SSID (you'll find this on the back/bottom of your router).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Select type of security (WEP, WPA etc; you'll find the key on the back/bottom of your router).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Auto obtain IP and/or DNS? Select No.
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Advanced Settings: Enter the IP address that you inputted into your router, the subnet mask, default gateway and DNS details (to find these details, on your computer, click Start, then Run. Type "cmd" and click Ok. In the command prompt window, type "ipconfig/all". This will display the required details).
Connection (1, 2, or 3): MTU Value: type "1500".
Connection (1, 2, or 3): Save settings.

And that should be it - your Wii's Internet connection should now run smoothly. If that didn't work, then sorry I have no other suggestions without seeing your setup.

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.
