Port Forwarding Guide
For automatic port forwarding try Simple Port Forwarding
Step 1.
Some routers & modems work best with port forwarding if you have a static
local IP.
Manually set your network interface card ( NIC ) to use a static ip address.
You can also download
my FREE Simple Static IP tool to set it for you.
Step 2.
Open your favorite web browser and input your routers ip address in the address bar.
Please note that you must have the http:// in order to connect to your
router/modem properly.

Step 3.
Some router/modems require a username and/or password, if yours requires it, enter the routers username and password here.
If you don't know it you can check our list of default router and modem password list here.
If you have changed it and don't remember it you may have to reset your device to factory default using the reset button on most routers.
Step 4.
Once logged into your router click on the "Advanced" tab.
Once the page has loaded click on "Virtual Server"
For "Name" Give your entry a name, it must not be the same as any others on this page.
Next enter the computers IP address in the "Private IP" field.
Next select the protocol in "Protocol Type"
In "Private Port" enter the port to be forwarded.
Example: 2105
In "Public Port" enter the port to be forwarded.
Example: 2105
Click "Apply"
Repeat steps for any more ports you need to forward.
All Done!
