How to I gain access to my router to open some ports up?

I opened some ports on my Windows firewall, but the operation I want won't go through.

I have a Linksys Wireless-G 2.4 Ghz

I went to that ip address and it doesnt let me do anything...Just slow down the refresh rate

I want to host games in Wc3 TFT...=)

Thanks everyone, I got it working =)

Answer 1

192.168.1.1 in the address bar. Enter your username and password, click on Applications and Gaming, then Port Range Forward. Enter the program name, port range, protocol type, IP address of the computer the program is on and then enable.

You can Google what ports and protocols different programs need open to communicate.

What program?

Ok here you go:
Warcraft III:

* Allow port 6112 TCP out and allow established sessions in
* Allow port 6112 TCP in (hosting custom games)
* Allow port 6113-6119 TCP out and in (hosting custom games if you’ve changed the default port in the Options/Gameplay screen)

You will probably need to use 2 different lines. Make sure to choose TCP not UDP.

First link is Blizzard Tech support for LAN second is for Windows Firewall. Are you running a 3rd party firewall (ZoneAlarm, Norton or McAfee for example), if so you will need to allow WC3 there also. Those usually disable the Windows Firewall.

Hope this helped.

If it is a LinkSys router, the default admin IP address is 192.168.100.1. DLink's default address is 192.168.0.1. Don't know about others.

Open your web browser to the IP address of the router. From there, you can open the ports. How that is done depends on your router.

Do you have the router instruction manual?

this is a complicated question..... what kind of router do you have?
