Port Forwarding BitLord on the Blanc BW-54R11

What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

BitLord chooses a random port to listen on when you install it. Before we can forward ports for BitLord, we need to find out what port BitLord is using. Go ahead and open BitLord.

In the menu at the top of your screen, click Options. Clicking Options will cause a menu to drop down. In this new menu click Preferences.

In the menu on the left the top option Connection should be selected. On the right hand side of this window you should see a Listen Port option. That is the port that you need to forward. You can change it if you like. Please enter the listen port below.

There is one more thing we need to do. We need to shut off the UPNP of BitLord.

In the menu on the left hand side under Advanced, click Connection. There should be an Enable UPnP Port Mapping(XP only) checkbox on the right hand side. Make sure it is unchecked.

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 192.168.1.254.

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 blank. 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 Firewall link near the left of the page.

You should now see a new menu. In this new menu, click Port Forwarding.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. BitLord requires you to forward the ports you entered above. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Port Forwarding menu and then click Apply Changes.

And that is it! You are done!

To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
