:) hi im new to the ADSL scene

got my line the other day....now i need some help from you guys the pros.....i want to setup torrents and P2P but after goin thru Portforward and doin all that...wen i added it to my firewall>NAT config....and so on...wen i put the ports to forward and clicked add config....it reflected 0 0 0 0 in each box....:(

So i please ask if any one could tell me how to set this up,i would appreciate it

Thanx :)
 
On mine, I just open ports for TCP and UDP... the "all" setting buggers everything up - at least for me. You can get the new firmware update at http://www.marconisa.co.za/premium_combo_software_download.htm which apparently fixes a number of issues. But of course, if you use www.portforward.com as a reference, the interface will be a bit different in the NAT configuration.

Uhmm... For an example, let me try explain how I opened up one of the ports for Diablo II.

I'm guessing you already know how to get into the NAT configuration. So, go into "Advanced NAT Configuration" then "Add Reserved Mapping" and:

- Leave "Global" as 0.0.0.0
- "Internal" That's your internal IP, you can see that by double clicking on the little Local Area Connection icon at the bottom right, and selecting the "Support" tab... The first IP you see is the one, it'll be something like 10.0.0.3 - type that in there for the computer you want to open the ports for.
- "Source Address Type" leave that on 'Use IP Address Range'
- "IP Address From/Subnet" leave that on 0.0.0.0 as well...
- "IP Address To/NetMask" leave that on 255.255.255
- "Type" select either TCP or UDP, most programs that use ports require that you open both, so, for now do TCP and then open the same ports for UDP when you're done.

If you're just using one port, (In this case one of Diablo II's port, 4000), put the desired ports in both "Start" and "End" for both the Internal and External columns. Otherwise if you want to select an array of ports, insert something like 4000 in Start and 4020 in End, that will open up all ports from 4000-4020.

And.. then click on "Add Reserved Mapping" and then do it again for UDP.

And then Config, and Save ;) And that's it...

I just used Diablo because it was the first thing that came to mind. But yeah, I think that should help...

P.S. http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm will let you find most common routers and the ports for some programs, while the configuration it suggests might not always be helpful, it will at least tell you what ports you need and for what programs. It's great help if you don't know what the ports are that some programs use...

But like I said, TCP/UDP are the important ports, especially for games and programs like Skype, Azureus, Froswire, MSN, etc, etc, etc....

:( hey

thanx for the heads up...but i look at your settings for NAT config...will the options look like this after i do the firmware update.

Thanx.....btw kool nickname
 
Yeah... Otherwise just put in your internal IP address (10.0.0.3) and set the ports and the type, and that should be all you need to set. It will work the same. And don't worry, you don't NEED to do a firmware update... but it does make things easier to find, at least for me XD

Anyway, I hope I've helped... Otherwise sorry for confusing you :S
