Free Port Forwarding Guides & PFConfig: Forward Your Ports Automatically
The Default Port Forwarding Guide for the Dlink DIR-655
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 192.168.0.1.
You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now.
By default the username is Admin, and the password is blank. Click the Log In button to log in to your router.
Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above did not work for you.
Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.
Click the Port Forwarding button near the left of the page.
Put a checkmark in the Enable checkbox.
Enter the name of the program into the Name box. It doesn't really matter what you put into this box, but something that will remind you why these ports are being forwarded would be a good idea.
Use the Computer Name box to choose a computer to forward ports to. This box contains a list of computer names that are visible on your network.
These entries are protocol specific. If the ports you are forwarding need to be forwarded using the TCP protocol, you should enter those ports into the TCP section. If the ports you are forwarding need to be forwarded with the UDP protocol, you should enter those ports into the udp section.
Enter the ports to forward into the TCP or UDP box. These ports can be entered as a list 23,24,25, a range 500-600, or a combination of both 23,45,500-600.
Select Always from the Schedule drop down box.
Select Allow All from the Inbound Filter drop down box.
When you're finished, click Save Settings near the top of the screen to save your changes.
And that's it! You're done!
To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
