Port Forwarding for the 3com OfficeConnect WL540


What is Port Forwarding?
What is Port Triggering?




 

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address. 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.

Do not skip this step!

Please enter the static ip you want to forward to:

192.168.2




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 192.168.2.1.




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




Click the Firewall link.


Click the Virtual Servers link.


Enter the ip address to forward these ports to into the LAN IP Address box. If you are forwarding ports so you can run a program on your computer, you should enter your computer's ip address into that box. Select the protocol type using the Protocol Type radio button. If you need both TCP and UDP, create a duplicate configuration. The first configuration would have TCP selected, while the second one would have UDP selected. Enter the port to forward into the LAN Port and the Public Port boxes. Put a checkmark in the Enabled checkbox.

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

And that is it! You are done!
