I just bought a Belkin DSL/Cable Router, and I am tring to figure out how to set up my win2000 system to accept connections on port 2002.

Basicly when someone tries to connect to my server nothing happends. Anyone tring to connect doesnt get though the router to the right system. If anyone can help please do.

Thanks,

I think I had this problem to. check your ip address. your new router may have changed it. if that is the case, then you just need to change the ip in your twgs. It worked for me.

I just did a search on router and turned up the messege I left when I first got my router and it is the ip address that is probably giving you the trouble. in the set up for your router it asks for your ip but then assigns new one's. at least mine did.

Thanks for the feedback, But I got all the info I needed from the support people, If anyone else has this problem, Here is the email they sent that explained everything to me.


To set up the port forwarding you will need to use our Virtual Server page on the router configuration menu. Open up a browser and go to 192.168.2.1. Login and click on Initial Setup. Now find Virtual Server option in the blue column on the left side. You will need to enter the following items:

Private IP: fill in the last number of the ip address here. For instance, if the machine you are running the web server and/or game server has an ip address 192.168.2.16 then enter 16 in the first field.

Private Port: This is the port that your server is running on. For instance, enter 80 for a web server.

Type: Select either tcp or udp.

Public Port: This is the port you want your router to listen on. Typically this is the same as the private port.

Once you have set this up, users will have to access the service using the wan ip address of the router. To find out what this is, go to the Status page on the Router configuration menu. The wan ip address will be listed in the Internet column.

Hope this helps someone else
