Before we can open ports for BYOND's pager, we need to figure out what ports BYOND's pager is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up Dream Seeker.

Click Options in the menu at the top of your screen. In the list that drops down click Preferences.

Click Pager tab at the top of this new window. You should now see the menu shown in the screenshot above. Enter a port number into the Pager Port box. It doesn't really matter what port you choose, but something between 10000 and 16000 would be a good idea. Please enter the port you chose into the box below.

To configure this router's firewalling properly you should setup a static ip address on your computer. Take a look at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.123.254.

You should see a box prompting you for your password. Enter your password now. By default your password is admin. Click the Login button to log in to your router.

Click the Security Setting link near the top of the page.

The menu on the left should change. In this new menu, click Packet Filter.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to setup your router's firewall for BYOND Dream Seeker. Go ahead and enter the settings shown below into the Inbound Packet Filter menu.

When you're finished, click Save near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!
