These tutorials never work for me! My router is screwed up! Pretty nice,though. Can I link this to my newbie guide?

~~This is all i have on my menu when i log into my router:

-Network
WAN
LAN
Wireless LAN
NAT
-Security
Firewall
-Advanced
Dynamic DNS
UPnP
-Maintenance
System
Logs
Tools
On firewall all it says it: (checkbox) Active Firewall

What do you mean, "Put the port in both ranges"?

[kenxinda]

Do this tutorial need router?

> What do you mean, "Put the port in both ranges"?

When portforwarding you have the choice to use/open more ports. So for example you can use port 6600 to 6605\. But you probably only need one port, so just use 6600 to 6600\.

It does not work for me. I put already anything but still does not work. I put 7001 as my Port.

Anyway, the Internet Protocol I put in my configuration file was the Internet Protocol I can see at http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ . Also, I put in the Remote Internet Protocol in the my router's Web site is the same as I put in the Local Area Network, which is the one I see in IPv4.

Please help me port forward.

Thanks.
