Ok, I have assigned a static IP but can you please explain what a DMZ is ?

just4kix

Have you not read the guide? I have explained DMZ in the guide.

mcenley

I have read the guide.
However, I don't know router's address. It's not a private router but a public one.

frndz as i m new here...i don't know exactly....wat happened...

when i was to open some files here...about torrent....it tells

''menazsheik, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.''



what does it actually mean

just4kix

Public router's cannot be accessed. They are protected just as would protect your home router.

Can you please retry? There may a temporary issue since you are new and your account may not be validated.

For me also the NAT or VS option is missing.
I am having Tata Indicom connection and have Telenet TNDSL 2120 router that seems to have advance version of software. Can any one tell me how to change the software of the router.
Please help me........

The word 'guide' in this title is a misnomer. I realized it later after posting.

This is not a guide or tutorial - it is more a document that explains the concepts. At the end of the document, there is just an example.

I received many posts and PMs after this thread on how to PF in their router. To all those people, I sincerely request, please visit PortForward.com - Free Help Setting up Your Router or Firewall.

I wrote this document because many people still struggle to port forward. This is because underlying principles are not understood. My aim was make these principles understood.

I use an MTNL broad band connection with 2 Mb/s unlimited download.
From what i could gather from MNTL's info page on its site i use UTStarcom UT-300R2 modem.
Now the information on portforward.com for this specific router does not match whats on 192.168.1.1

Question:
1.How do i set up a Static IP address and do i need one ?
2.Do i need a static IP address for setting up port forwarding for my p2p ?
3.How do i set up port forwarding for Vuze ?

I've been trying to work this thing out for 3 whole days now,with very little sleep.Its really frustrating.Please help.
And if you could elaborate with some visual help that would be worth a lot more.Thank you.

How do u connect to the internet? Do u dial out the connection by yourself or do u switch on the modem and let the modem dial out the connection?

samuraijoe

I switch the modem on well its connected to a electric power socket which i turn on and use away.
Funny,My basic concern was why my p2p in this case Vuze got a very low download speed.I know it depends heavily on seeders but the health of the torrent,the smiley was always Yellow (mediocre:not good not bad)
I did everything i could find on this forum and on other sites like portforward.com to make things right.
I clicked on the option box for UPnP and disabled it under options on Vuze.Now I have a green smiley.

Somehow everything worked out.
But i have some questions on MTNL and p2p softwares like the one I'm using Vuze.

now coming to your post - i have read your guides. either i am missing something obvious, but how do i put my static ip address in the DMZ?

also, if site says this -

"*OUR TRACKER USES PORT 2710, SO FORWARD THAT PORT TOO INORDER TO DOWNLOAD"

what do i do?

cheers!

When I meant "static ip address", I meant the address that you assign manually to your PC in TCP/IP properties (Ref: How to set TCP/IP settings).

This TCP/IP address can now be forwarded - either in Virtual Server or in NAT/DMZ.

To put the ip address in DMZ, click on the NAT/DMZ option. It will ask for IP address of the computer that will be put in DMZ. Enter the address. Click on 'Apply'. Do not forget to "Save and Reboot".
