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.

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 "Firewall"
Once the page has loaded click on "Virtual Servers"
Step 5.
Once the page has loaded enter the computer IP address in "LAN IP Address"
Give your entry a name in the "Description" field.

In "LAN Port" enter the starting port to be forwarded.
Example: 2100

Be sure to check "Enable"
