Help with Port Forwarding

Question

Hey all, I just have a question concerning the port forwarding of the Truemoblie 2300 (Cable connection). I can't seem to get a port forwarded at all, for any programs. Perhaps i'm going about it the wrong way, considering I am not a computer genius. I've been to portforward.com and followed the steps there, however, nothing seems to be working. If anyone could give me any help or steer me in the right direction, that would be much appreciated. Thanks

Have you given your machine a Static IP Address?

Esyvertson · Answer

Jmwills, Yes, I gave a static IP address in accordance with the directions that portforward.com gave me. However, in hindsight I now realize that perhaps this is too broad of a topic. I feel as if the main problem is when I connect to the router via the URL bar and mess around with the advanced settings there. If it would be of any assisstance, I could take a screenshot of the settings and someone could check it to see if it is correct. Thanks for any help anyone is willing to give, I appreciate it.

Screenshots welcome.

Is it indeed a TCP port and not UDP?  Also try using lower case letters in the MAC Address.   Everything else looks good.  The Static Address of your machine is;   192.168.2.136?

Esyvertson · Answer

Yes, thats my static. I'll just change everything up and see how that affects things. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Now just to test and see if it works.
