Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically
Port Forwarding BCDC++ on the BT Voyager240
Before we can forward ports for BCDC++, we need to figure out what ports BCDC++ is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up BCDC++.
In the menu at the top of your screen click the file option. In the menu that drops down click the Settings link.
In the menu on the left hand side of the window that popped up click the Connection Settings link. You should see a TCP box and an UDP 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 box into the box below.

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

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for your computer.
Or you can 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!
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 192.168.1.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above do not work for you.
Click the Advanced link near the left of the page.
Click the Advanced link near the bottom of the page.
Click the Configuration link near the left of the page.
You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Virtual Server.
Click the Port Forwarding link near the top of the page.
Click the Add button near the right of the page.
Put a dot into the User Defined radio button.
We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BCDC++ requires you to forward the following ports: 100000,100001. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Virtual Server menu.
