What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

Before we can forward ports for SababaDC, we need to figure out what ports SababaDC is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up SababaDC.

Click the File button in the menu at the top of your screen. In the menu that drops down click Settings.

In the menu on the left hand side of this page click the Connection Settings link. You should see a TCP Port box and an UDP Port box. Enter a random port into each of these boxes. It doesn't matter what ports you choose, but a port numbers between 10000 and 60000 would be a good idea. A higher numbered port is generally the best to use, because most ISP's do not block the higher numbered ports. Please enter the port you chose for the TCP Port box into the box below.

Please enter the port you chose for the UDP Port box into the box below.

Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.

In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.1.254.

Click the Firewall button.

Click the Firewall Settings button.

Use the Select a computer box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network.

Click the Add a new user-defined application link.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. SababaDC requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Edit Application menu and then click Add Definition.

	Application Name:
	Protocol:	TCP		UDP
	Port (or Range):	From:		To:
	Protocol Timeout (seconds):			TCP default=86400 UDP default=600
	Map to Host Port:			Default= the same port as defined above

You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Edit Application page. Go ahead and enter those settings and then click Add Definition.

	Application Name:
	Protocol:	TCP		UDP
	Port (or Range):	From:		To:
	Protocol Timeout (seconds):			TCP default=86400 UDP default=600

Click the Back button.

Select the applications you just created in the Applications list, then click the Add button to move them to the Hosted Applications box.

When you are finished, click the Done button at the bottom of your screen.

And that is it! You are done!
