Simple PortForwarding [FULL]


Ok, Alot of People are asking for guides in Port Forwarding
And Alot Of People are using Hamachi w/c makes there server limited in access
&& i jsut want to post^__^ haha

ok, i know theres alot of guide for this already but ill make this noob friendly^__^

STEP ONE
ok 1st we need programs[because if i give a manual guide alot of people wont understand!]

Programs Needed:

Simple Static IP : http://www.pcwintech.com/node/30
Simple Port Forwarding : http://www.pcwintech.com/node/8
Optional : bcoz these ones are not for Free
PFConfig - https://portforward.com/store/pfconfig.cgi
Port-Trigger - http://www.portforward.com/store/porttrigger.htm\

Now lets start w/ the Guide

1st download those files, ex. Simple Static & Portforwarding

Now Download these Files && Install

STEP TWO


1st is use the Simple Static IP,
this will make your Lan IP static
we need static lan ip for the portforwarding cuz if we use dynamic, ur ip will keep on changing^__^ ok?

now run Simple Static IP!
Now as you can see at the top theres a Network Adaptor List Box,
Click the dropdown and choose the Network Adaptor that is connected to the internet
now after selecting
You will now see IP,Subnet,Gateway, etc...
You can Click Enable Static IP!
&& Voila Thats Done^_^

Optional Note * Try New Info IP: 192.168.1.200+ ok? try above 200+ just click Randomize New IP! till you get 200+ ok?
ill explain later why^__^

Still dont get it? go to this guide!!! http://www.pcwintech.com/node/30

STEP THREE

so now lets go to the portforwarding proper

Run Simple Port Forwarding,
Now Select A router

If you router is there! Well Good For You!^__^

Now Click The + Button below

now will add a new port
Name: http
Type: TCP/UDP
StartPort: 80
EndPort: 80
IP Address : The Static IP Address ok?
Then Click Add

Now you may click Update Router
&& Voila! your port 80 is forwarded you can now host a website^_^

now let me give u another example forwarding port 23000


now will add a new port
Name: FlyffLogin
Type: TCP
StartPort: 23000
EndPort: 23000
IP Address : The Static IP Address ok?
Then Click Add

do you get the pattern? now if you want to Forward more ports follow that pattern^__^

If you still cant really understand Check This http://www.pcwintech.com/node/8

Now if your modem/router is not supported by simple port forwarding
visit this site and look for your router
http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
Now if you found your router click it and find the HTTP[/B] guide.^__^

Now click it & follow that guide^__^

& FOLLOW IT!
OTHER CHOICES!!!
ok let me give a an extra tip, Read This Carefully, specially to people who cant find a router guide anywhere

#1 Find the default gateway on your computer.

This means if on, Windows.. Go to Start -> Run.

Type in cmd and press enter.

In the new Window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.

#2 With your web browser, go to the default gateway discovered. It should take you to the siemens se260.

#3 In the router will be a WAN IP. Please make sure, that the WAN IP in the router matches the external IP as shown at http://www.portforward.com/default.htm

#4 Find the DHCP range of the router. This should be something about a Starting and Ending IP Or Starting IP and the number of users.

#5 Make sure to set a static IP outside of that range on your computer.

For steps 4 and 5, they may or may not be required. Some routers, are lot more picker than others.

Ok, example..

--

Portforwaring, Enable.

Protocol: Both

Comment: 90

Enable: Checked

Local IP Address: The LAN IP that is on your computer. That could be a static IP..

Local Port: 80-80


Remote Address: Leave blank, if you can. If you can not leave it blank, enter in 0.0.0.0

Note! Where blank, means you do not fill it in.

Public Port: 80-80

Interface: Any

Press add.

ok? get it?

*notes FAQ
to know whats your router/modem?
Open a webbrowser like firefox/Internet explorer
and type in mostly thats it!
but sometimes its not so follow this

Find the default gateway on your computer.

This means if on, Windows.. Go to Start -> Run.

Type in cmd and press enter.

In the new Window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.

Find Default Gateway and type it in the browser^_^

please reply to this post if you really need help^__^

FAQ's
What My Default Gateway?
How to Log into your Router Page when you dont know the Default Gateway

You can log into your router page using your browser, if you have your default gateway address. All you need to do is type your default gateway address in the Address bar of your browser and hit enter. This will take you to the router login page.



If you don’t know your default gateway address, here’s how you go about determining it. Before you begin, make sure your computer is connected to the LAN port of your router. The light on this port should be lit up.



* Click on Start, go to Run.In the textbox that shows up, type cmd and click on OK.

* In the black screen type in ipconfig and press Enter.

* You will find the ipaddress, subnet mask and the default gateway.
* Type in “ping” followed by your default gateway address and hit enter.

* You will see four replies and the ping statistics shown.
* This shows that your router and computer are able to communicate with each other.



Open your browser and type your default gateway address in the Address bar and hit enter. Your router login screen will show up. You can now login with the default username and password which came with your router.

What is Portforwarding for?
Port forwarding, sometimes referred to as port mapping,[1] is the act of forwarding a network port from one network node to another. This technique can allow an external user to reach a port on a private IP address (inside a LAN) from the outside via a NAT-enabled router.[2]

Purposes

Port forwarding allows remote computers (e.g. public machines on the Internet) to connect to a specific computer within a private LAN.[3]

For example:

* forwarding port 80 to run an HTTP webserver within private LAN from internet
* forwarding port 22 to allow Secure Shell access within private LAN from internet
* forwarding port 21 to allow FTP access within private LAN from internet

Modern Linux machines achieve this by adding iptables rules to the nat table: with target DNAT to the PREROUTING chain, and/or with target SNAT in the POSTROUTING chain.

BSD and Mac OS X machines use a similar tool named ipfw. The ipfw tool is likely already running as a built-in part of the operating system's kernel.

Some common caveats with port forwarding include:

* The need to forward the packets that come to the router's forwarded port as well as the need to rewrite them so that the machine to which the port is forwarded can reply to the original source address, which in turn leads to the inability of the destination (private) machine to see the actual originator of the forwarded packets, and instead see them as if originating from the router
* Only one networked machine can use a specific forwarded port at one time
* Traditional port forwarding allows the entire world access to the forwarded port, slightly reducing network security

Port forwarding can also be used within a single machine. Port forwarding is necessary for a standalone computer if any of the following conditions are true:

* The computer is using a shared IP address.
* Internet Connection Sharing is enabled.
* A router is being used with NAT enabled.

In a typical home networking setup, internet access is through a DSL or Cable modem. That modem may be connected to a router, which is then connected to the networked computers by Ethernet or WiFi. The router is the device that the Internet sees; it holds the public IP address. The computers behind the router, on the other hand, are invisible to the Internet as they hold a local IP address each. Port forwarding is necessary in the router because computers will send information directed to the public IP address and the router needs to know where to send that information.[4]

Port forwarding is commonly done on Unix computers where port numbers numbered below 1024 can only be accessed by software running as the root user. Running as root can be a security risk, so some people use port forwarding to redirect incoming traffic from a low numbered port to software listening on a higher port. For example, a web server may be listening on a port such as 8080 for traffic redirected from the restricted port 80. A port may be forwarded for use by either the TCP protocol, the UDP protocol, or both.

Anatomy Of Portforwarding

To Let an Application Use Port Forwarding

1. Type the router's address in an Internet browser's address bar. (By default the router's address is 192.168.0.1). The Setup Wizard appears.
2. Enter the router's username and password.
3. Under Advanced, click Port Forwarding on the left menu bar.

A Port Forwarding Screen (Varies Slightly by Router)

4. From the Service & Game (or Service Name) pull down, select the service that you will host. The services the router knows about are listed here. If the service does not appear in the drop down, add a service as described in the next section, then return to this step.
5. Enter the IP address of your local server in the Server IP Address box.
6. Click Add.
7. Click Logout to exit from router settings.

To Add a Service for These Routers

To define a service not in the Service Name list, determine what port numbers are used by the service.

1. Click Add Custom Service.
2. Enter the first port number in an unused Start Port box.
3. If only one port number is to be forwarded, enter the same number in End Port. To specify a range of ports, enter the last port to be forwarded in the End Port box.
4. Enter any name you choose for the service.
5. Click Apply.
