Pardon the stupidity. Kindly assist me filling numbers in the blanks below:




I'm trying to setup a proper port forwarding for an online game. The ports to be opened are 6672, 28900 UDP and 8001, 27900 TCP. The gaming rig's IP is 192.168.1.5.

I seriously don't understand the upper part.

In P1 modem


In router


Result


Downloading torrent at plateau speed of 38 KBps = 304 kbps (I exceeded the bandwidth limit weeks ago). The speed should be 1200 kbps tomorrow (new month of April).

Hope this delivery give you ideas on how to toggle the numbers in your modem and router. Your numbers should be the same provided you use a router to connect you with the modem.

Use PFPortChecker by portforward.com to determine if you port forward correctly or not.

When you test the ports, double check the protocol. UDP or TCP. Example, if you open port 9100/UDP, only 9100/UDP is open.

Yes. There are settings and numbers to be adjusted to properly setup port forwarding.

Mine R4.5.1.1-16688-v5.7.0p.

Is that possible? Is it OK to do that, according to the signed contract?

Double check the proto on PFPortChecker and the port forwarding setting page. Check UDP on UDP.

Either read the manual that comes with the game, or bing for it.

1. Is your network something like this

PC > Router > P1 Modem

2. In the 1st picture, what's your basis putting 120.141.109.165 in Server IP?

Afaik,
PC > P1 modem = no port forwarding.
PC > router > P1 modem = yes port forwarding.

This is my example of port forwarding :-)

Take a snail mail analogy for example. You buy something from me, say http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1023739/ XD

1. We decided to post it (say that Mario game) to you, and you gave me you address.
2. Then after packed it nicely, I sent it and a postman helped me with it.
3. The helpful postman arrived at your house, and put it inside your mailbox.
4. You sister checked, and found your package. Decidedly she pass you the package :-)
5. Great success :-)

So I effortlessly sent you the Mario without knowing your exact location (well you are upstairs, behind the locked door watching some petty porn XD). Same case with torrent. Seeder don't know your exact IP as your are behind a router. Seeder only know your modem IP (your home address). Then your sister (the router - who know exactly where you are) helpfully passed it to you.



LAN IP Address is my router IP, assigned by P1 modem.



Entries in Src Address are empty because I want to allow ANY address to forwarded to me through those specific ports. For example, torrent. I allow any peer/seeder to connect with me on port 6881 only.

From 1st pic, WAN port is my peer/seeder port, LAN port is my router port, and from 2nd pic, Int Port is my PC port.

So WAN Address is (not exactly) needed in snail mail (and torrent - thus I let it empty), and bla bla bla...

Do correct me for any misguided statement :-)
