I finally figured out how to port forward with my router, but I have to put in two different values. One is the public port and the other is for 'private port'. I know which ports I have to put in, but im not sure which one i put them in. here is my router..http://portforward.com/smc/7004wfw-portforwarding.htm
Another thing - if I have to open up more than one port, do I have to do individual entries for each port, or can I just put a dash or something. Thanks.
use public and private as the same......
you only need to work with them if you have 2 (or more) comps in the network using the same ports........
say both comps host a website
now you forward external port 80 to comp one port 80
and external port X to comp two port 80
(X cant be 80)
in comps two's website port X will have to be specified as the port for the site
this allows both comps to use their comps like normal, without setting their software to listen to other ports.......
Thanks. makes sense now.
why did you make a new thread
