Configuring your router's port forwarding
This section provides instructions for opening and assigning ports in the most common
routers from NetGear, Linksys, and D-Link. Most other routers require similar procedures.
Before you can change your router configuration, you must have the following:
❑
The IP address of your router.
Consult your router's user documentation for the IP address. (Note that many routers
use the default address 192.168.0.1.)
❑
Your router's administrator name and password.
Consult your router's user documentation for the user name and password. (Note that
many routers use the default user name admin and password blank or password.)
❑
The IP address that the NAT has assigned to your computer.
To obtain the IP address that a NAT has assigned to a specific Windows XP computer,
click Start > Settings > Network Connection > LAN and select the Support tab. The
Details window shows the IP address. PVX also lists the local IP address in the main
window.
With any router brand or model, you will need to open the ports listed in the following
table.
NetGear Routers
The following procedure applies to NetGear MR814v2 and RP614v2 routers. The screens
and settings may vary slightly for different NetGear models. The procedures assume that
your router is correctly configured and connected to the Internet and that your network is
operational. Follow these steps to configure your NetGear router:
If PVX has not detected a UPnP-enabled router, you cannot select this field.
